If I get out of margin completely what should I sell I've never been close to a margin call because I pay off at least several times a year (especially when the market is on a run like it is now). One way to do it is to sell covered calls on part of your positions. Put the strike price up high enough to guarentee a profit if they are called. So far, I never got called on everything and end up selling just enough to raise some cash, sometimes you pay off the margin and don't end up selling any shares. (This is a variation of market timing too, so I'll drop the subject on this thread). TP
