Really I am sorry for the loss. Hopefully you can make it up on other stocks. Heck this thing could bounce tomorrow. Not one factual news yet on WCOM. This is all rumors and should move up tomorrow.

HO I hope it comes back for you...I think we all know how low one can feel in your circumstance...though I've not traded on margin I've suffered HUGE single day losses in the past of over 20k in a day several times and it can make for a miserable night trying to sleep. I wish you the best! tuna

If a frog jumped into a pot of boiling water, it would jump out right away. BUT, take that same frog, put it in a pot of cold water, and SLOWLY heat the water, the frog will get aclimated to the heat - and then find itself eventually trapped in boiling water without the strength to escape. Got this off Yahoo.

HO: my wishes are added to others here that this represents only a temporary dent that you can swiftly recover from (rarely as swift as we'd like, but in the long view, swift enough). As you know, a great deal of longterm success can be wiped out by 1 or 2 bad weeks, and it can put a serious strain on the spirit, as I myself have publicly demonstrated twice in the past 3 years. But these are temporary, and can be overcome, and with every rebound, greater strength and wisdom emerges. Hang in there, and know that there are many rooting for ya and some praying for ya. -Kevin
