Hey Polvo Glad to hear about your "call buy back" manuever. By the way, when a whorehouse raises maintenance levels to 80%, that FORCES a stock sale. It's called the exception to the "there is no such thing as a margin call" concept. It's basically the "you have no margin anymore" call. At least my IRA (totally QCOM) is dancing these days. Man that sucker is styling as we enter my semi-centennial month. Do you know why April 14 is famous? 1) Lincoln was shot 2) The Titanic hit the iceberg and . . . . Pete Rose and I checked in, baby. He's a little older and uglier. Have you seen my grade school picture, Dustman? Was I ever cute! Still am, slim boy. jmanchicago

Greetings elpovie: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Talk about getting whacked with a sledgehammer (steam roller). No, No MSFT in my portfolio. Other positions getting whacked. I really thought that there would be a reversal to the positive today, at least in the late PM. Trying to dodge the margin call bullet, which is probably at about $150,000. Now do I consider selling calls on RMBS deep in the money and out, with time to save my positions. Need the feedback you guys. gurgle, gurgle, gurgle... David
