Nope, a "planned sale" is more likely a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan. A forced liquidation is unplanned. <g> I've never thought about margin calls in the context of insider information. I guess they probably avoid the issue by the sale being made by the broker, not by the individual. Peter

>> Yeah, forced liquidations are great if you're holding while it's happening, yup. << Not to belittle the comment, as I watch balances on a daily basis, but....... my net worth, being 100% invested long through the most severe correction known to the sector, is larger than it was January 2000. The increase, in percent, is very large. So, through lots of pain (much of which was TLRK-inflicted), I know this...... loading the boat -- while maintaining diversification -- works. If you know that you got a good deal, be glad when you can get it at 0.5X. Everybody wants to buy only at bottoms. Too bad. To me, the insider buys at TLRK reflect the sincerity of management. Everyone's mileage will vary.
