margin avoidance without risk avoidance
margin keeps giving me the opposite signals required for survival
buy more when high (from growing buypower)
sell more when low (from threat of margincall)

biggest challenge with itm calls is to keep some dry powder
except for picking best stocks, of course

Hi Voltaire: Margin aversion>>>>>>You complemented Jim Willie for this practice.....I certainly feel great about no margin at this point. Don't you think that margin can benefit us if used sparingly at the proper time. Right now I am about 60% invested and looking to jump in all the way plus some margin.....at the right time....then jump out. Appreciate your thoughts.
