You have tempered by over simplified lessons-learned very nicely.

It's nice to see there's a little "give" in your anti-margin stance. I use margin to increase profit. I'm aggressive about it. It works for me. Every time a margin holder sells, it is to cover his/her debt. But you can cover at $100, or $85, or $75, or $65, or you can let the house decide for you. Some of these actions are more profitable than others. Options I hear are wonderful. I also hear they're terrible. I don't clearly understand them. I don't use them. I have a hunch that SL knows what he's doing, and has had about the same profitable results I have had.
