Steve, out of all of the stocks you mentioned only 2 of them have listed PE ratios...TRAC at 179 and KTEL at 70.........With increased revenues CCUR value may still be there with increasing price...

Steve - Agree 100% with all your points. Margin trading of speculative stocks is a young man's game. (They can afford to be wiped out.) The only times I will use margin are to manage a temporary situation where the stock I want to buy hits my price sooner than the one I want to sell, or if I want to leverage the performance of stable large cap stocks some. In either case, I am careful. Your option discussion is exactly what I had in mind. Is gives a most prudent reduction in risk in these very volatile, very speculative stocks. (The only reason my mistake in holding on to most of a stock we both owned for a long time was not a total disaster for me was call income - and, by the way, I think that one is almost as interesting now as when we bought it, and in several ways more interesting.)
