Freeus, The one good thing I see about this is, that since it is this close to earnings, we may see a huge jump in the stock after the earning are released. When DELL releases their current quarter, those guys are all going to be looking for those lifeboats that they said we were going to need a couple of weeks ago. It's funny, they are worried about us loosing our ass, they better re-evaluate their positions this close to what everyone thinks is going to be a great quarter.

RE: Margin calls for shorts Shorts are continually marked to market. If a stock you are short goes up, the broker will draw down your available margin until it is all gone, and you then get a margin call.
