Greeting's Dangergirl: Even though we have been burnt by using margin. I still beleive that it is a legitimate tool to enhance position and wealth (when will he ever learn). The one lesson that I did learn is to do the opposite of what I have been doing and use increased market valuation to decrease margin position as dry powder for the next inevitable "correction". With the benefit of 20/20 hind sight it seems that whenever I had a margin call, I was caught with my pants down and was forced to sell my positions at severely undervalued levels. Very rarely was I ever in a position to take full advantage of gorging on the dips. Hello, my nave is David, I am a recovering margihollic... David
