30-35% max on margin, especially due to volatility...

Consider if you had been at 30-35% in November when DELL was at 103+, and then watch it drop to 72. Your margin exposure just jumped to 50+% of equity (assuming DELL was 100% of equity). If you were at 50% margin at 103, at 72 you'd be at 69+% (whoops).
