Curly, they call the Fed's for rescue. In essence, if they go broke and the brokers did not buy the stock once the margins was insufficient to cover, the broker take the loss. A good brokerage house will however cover its bets and buy back (they have the right) if the equity underlying the short got wiped out. Zeev

>>Do the partners get a call on their personal assets or how do people get paid?<< I wouldn't worry too much about him if that is the case, as Gates is one of the investors in his fund... or at least that is what I read a while back.... could be different today... Edit: On second thought, that doesn't make any sense... Isn't Gates a holder of Rambus along with Dell?
