Margin trading can and is hazardous to one's health. Remember yesterday am? Nice buying going on. Would you believe I traded all but 500 shares(55% on margin) out of MRV! I traded way too much but made 7,000 but... all of a sudden the stock's action picked up and I had visions of a twenty point move leaving me behind after four years! I frantically bought back in my core position and more(ON MARGIN) and the stock immediately tanked. Today I had to make a visit to the bank to cover a margin call!!! Moral ...Better have a strong stomach or something strong to drink to handle the stress. Good Luck... I forgot...What the Hell is that? Please...no questions why I trade on margin. I have hundreds of thousands of reasons... made and lost. :--(
