Thank you, Sam. RE:This scenario doesn't make too much sense to me... If you have $10,000 in a margin account, and you bought $2000 worth of stock, and added another $1000 cash to it, your balance is $11,000, with $2000 of it consisting of stock. Even if the stock became completely worthless, your balance will be $9000. You will never get a margin call, because you're not using any margin. Maybe you can clarify your question a little bit more... Sam I meant the having the $10000 all in stock so that when you add $1000 in cash and buy $2000 of stock you would be using $1000 of margin. My second question was basically the first restated in a different way. Since you did a good job of answering the first you also answered the second. Tim
