Also I cannot understand this investor's broker just selling the stock without calling When I had $60,000 my broker wouldn't give me the time of day. Once you have 10 times that amount they are much more willing to talk to you. TP

"I have had margin calls too when I was new at this. But margin is a tool, and a valuable one..." I think I understand your position but I've seen enough selling panics over the years to believe that most of us would not respond rationally in a market crash situation.I watch a "professional investment " manager sweat bullets during the 87 crash because he had our company on the wrong side of a $30 million bond position with a big, big lose at the end of the day- and month and year. It is very difficult to go against the tide when blood is running in the streets, IMHO. Tom
