Glen, >> It's weird that EVI isn't moving like the others. I sense a negative tone from EVI<< Don't worry Glen, it's the very good stocks like EVI that will help to make this rally into a full turnaround. Once they follow-thru with the one-two punch, the sector can begin to move up in earnest. Good Investing, Ken

Buying call options is not the only way to lose money in this sector, having a margin account is also a very efficient method for disposing of excess cash. I was up 50% at the peak, but unfortunately continue to buy as my buying power increased. So needless to say I bought a significant amount at the peak and have paid dearly for it. In addition I was forced to lock in losses as I get a margin call every week. I have seen a potential 5,000 sq foot home go down the tubes. Fortunately, I can't margin my retirement account. I guarantee I will not sell at a loss there, not in this undervalued, recently ravished sector.
