<<if you are on margin, as an alternative to selling at the bottom, consider paying off margin debt with a second mortgage or line of credit... this way you can continue to hold your stocks without worrying about the dreaded call. And if your time horizon is as long as mine (over 10 years) you don't have to worry about selling at the bottom.>>

Yep, you no longer have the worry of selling at the bottom, because you've traded it for the angst of losing your HOME!<NG>

That sounds like quite the moron.

Bet you are happy you didn't pick up POS poots. -g- Now if someone had told you that they would cancel their earnings report by a week because it is so bad they can't figure out where in the balance sheet to lie quite yet, and hold some sort of ClusterShag call, would you have expected the stock would shoot up? -g- It is a rigged stock so better not to play with it.

why not take out a student loan in your kid's name and pay off the margin loan? If you paid cash for tuition, why waste the wonderful opportunity of mortgaging your kid's future so you can hold onto Iomega and Syquest, those titans of personal storage.
