<< I have to ask you why you closed out the account. Did you go to another broker for more margin buying power <g>? >> Justa, Since it was experimental, I was doing it with taxable money. Listing all 100+ short term trades on my return is just too much work. Not to mention, the short term tax rates are pretty brutal on the profits. If I do it again, I will do it with a no-fee IRA account to avoid the tax return work. Only problem with the no-fee IRA account is no more shorting and no more margin. <g> bb jr.
