Red,

I'm relatively new at all this, so to have this happen twice in a week is a little unsettling. I only have 2 stocks that are up--one is up by 1/4, the other by 1/16. Wow. Everything else seems to be down 3%-5%

But I'm not going to panic--feel my cash balances are adequate.

Greta

Red,

Would love to hear a cnbc report on margin calls....bet they have been passed out in bushel baskets at the brokerage houses lately...

My quotes are a sea of red . .

Red,

Same here. Last week, at least I had a sliver of green with
CSCO. But today, my portfolio screen resembles a red barn.

We seem to get one or two days like this every six months or
so.

Hang in there,

Justin
