Anyone no longer in the game due to Margin/Equity squeeze?

Deeber, I understand your fustration about IPOs being toast. I really dont agree IPOs that you have held for more than 30 days and if they are toast now. You had the opportunity to bail out at profit (like CTRA, APRS) but did not. I am in the same boat with many like CTRA, ELOQ etc, but did bail out of APRS, DTHK and some. This is the same stock as buying any stock and not following the IPO algorithm, that is buy and flip after 30 days no matter what. On the other side, thank god I got IPOs (even junk), because I did not buy anything risky with the money, and it was cash (no margin). Even though IPOs like BLZE, ETIN, DTHK, SLTC etc have fallen hard from their highs on the average one would still eke out a profit or very minimal losses. Not the kind I went trhu with ISLD, PPRO etc, which are not speculative but good solid companies. No I wish I was totally into IPO game. Going forward I think IPOs is not as lucrative as some aftermarket buys, because of the fire sale prices. Same cycle. Remember last August where you had YHOO in double digits
