<<Keith, glad to hear you got off the margin drug. INTCfan >> Not totally off....weening myself though. It's a hard addiction to break <ggg> However, My goal is to eliminate margin completely by hopefully selling some calls I have, IF we ever get a rally, or maybe some quick trades, which I am more hesitant to do seems it seems like I havent been able to make profits on quick trades this year. Obviously, I could have bought yesterday, sold right now, and could have probably made enough to completely eliminate the rest of my margin...but I was too hestitant to comitt. Sure, it's easy now in hindsight...now that I see I could have made good money, but what if we opened down 80 and stayed that way....it would have put me in more dire straights....so I didnt by squat yesterday. Still think there is some messiness ahead, especially if things go in gores favor, so maybe I'll buy a little then...... keith
