Allen, what's the difference between strong hands or weak hands? My favorite interpretation is it's Buy and Hold vs. I'm Outta Here... Randy

HJ, My brother's friend's sister lost $160,000 last Monday and Tuesday due to margin calls. Her portfolio value is cut in half -- She would love to buy more Tuesday, but had to sell instead. My uncle's biz partner has 3 margin calls in the past 2 weeks, luckily he has enough assets to cover the 3 calls. Weakest hands filed BK after Tuesday; weaker hands sold Tuesday; weak hands barely survived the margin calls. Strongest hands covered all his shorts and went 120% longs Tueday. I'm ok, not strong enough -- covered half of my shorts and went longs on margin. King Willaim should be our financial advisor. And I consider u my advisor since I have u "peoplemarked" since last Oct. Allen
