Freeus; I knew there was something I read in your post this morning that I was going to question you on.......It was the margin.......don't do that till November or until we head north for a solid week or so...........then be very careful......20---25% maybe. That's in an up market.

Let's not let them take our profits this year by us being on margin. There is no way I would go 50% again......No Way!

Margin is much like a dangerous power tool. Used wisely
it can create useful objects. The guy or gal using a chain saw improperly generally loses a foot or leg. Don't let the market take your savings away un-necessarily. Just my opinion but now is the TIME TO STAY AWAY FROM MARGIN.

>>I was sure, since Intc's warning didn't seem to spook the market Fri we'd be ok. <<

Just about everyone was sure that the markets come-back Friday indicated a follow-through move up. That's why the Market went down today, just to spread some humility. I think it will move up later in the week. When it does, and you are showing some profits - take them and back off the margin. You remember those state lottery advertisements: "Bet with your head, not over it."
