Sam -- I'm not sure the FO plays got "lumped" with the others in the traditional sense. But when someone gets a margin call I suspect they sell whatever they can to meet the demand. After awhile even the good stuff goes down. In periods like we've just been through, I'm just grateful I survived. Even though I don't do options and I use margin "very conservatively," there were a couple days I wondered if I'd get a call. I put conservatively in quotes as it becomes relative when we see drops that make the face of the Eiger look like a handicap ramp. Call me the Cowardly Optimist. :) Pat
