Makin a nice move here, is this for real (short covering, a technical bounce)? Time will tell. Dave

Off-topic. Swede: I can't agree with you more. I was smart enough to get out from driller sector and took over $50k profit before the end of October, but I was also stupid enough to put all the money in one tech stock after that -- fully margined. My account value went down from around 140k to 70k or so. I already got twice of margin calls and borrowed a lot of money from credit card. I will sell some of it by Friday just to offset the big capital gain tax. This time I really burned badly by using margin. Happy holidays and good luck.
