<<Problem is that only Keith will have enough $s to take advantage of it.lol I am not going into deep margin here!>> Not unless msft and jdsu turn into penny stocks....which may just happen<ggg>....pennies is all I have to spend. I agree with the margin thing. My goal was to use just a little margin....25% or so until we rally at end of year, then sell something, eliminate margin once and for all and be done with it. I didnt want to sell stuff while down, so i figured I would wait for end of year rally. Well, the last few days I figured the margin had to go with all this uncertainty, so I sold stock, bought calls and eliminated the bulk of my margin. Even have a little room to buy a couple more calls if they drop further. I am banking and praying that this mess is over with by end of year and that the march and further out calls are safe.... keith
