LOL aw come on Garcia. You want confession time? o.k. last year I lost $24,000 because every one of my stocks got cut in half and I had to sell because I had margin calls. I certainly learned the hard way. I NEVER use margin now. I would have just held on to them, but because they were purchased them on margin, I HAD NO CONTROL when the price dropped. By the way, they all went on to recover and some of them actually doubled past my original price. 250 shares of DCLK was one of them. You wanna hear something really dumb? I sold CMGI at 55 (oh it's just too embarrassing) before it split. I had 100 shares. I jumped back in at 77 9/16 on AOL today,I didn't want to take any chances of it slipping away from me.
