Freeus, As painfull as this markets is for the longs, one can gain comfort in the fact that stocks are going to be on sale. The marker over shoots one the down side as it DID to the upside. Greg

Anyone put money on DELL is going to be big loser. Michael Dell has cashed enough DELL that he don't mind if DELL crashes to low 10s along as he could maintain his personal relationship with Intel. He has pocketed enough money for his next 3 generations to live like a king. By sticking with Intel processors designed/manufactured by the technology loser, Dell is just a no-tech box maker. See who is going to buy the antiqued ugly boxes assembled by Dell a year from now? exchange2000.com

Every firm is different, but most notify you that you have a certain amount of time to meet the margin requirements. If you do not meet it in in the specified time...they sell the stock whatever the price. Its like I said the other day...this is no time to be on margin and would recommend anyone to avoid it until we get some kind of balance and support. Good Luck to You. Cowboy Brett

Freeus, Credit cards have monthly payments. Your confusing borrowing on margin or borrowing money from a credit card to buy stocks. Personally, I don't recommend any credit buying for stocks, but others have made fortunes borrowing to buy into companies that they didn't have the money to buy otherwise. So I've been told. If you had the opportunity to buy one way or the other, the consequences of buying on margin can kill you when the market goes against you. If the market goes the wrong way and you borrowed from the credit card, all you have is monthly payments as opposed to selling the stock at its lowest point to cover a margin call. And those monthly payments would be a long time reminder about borrowing on credit to buy stocks.
