Thanks to everyone who offered margin advice. Do most of you feel the way OJ does, just don't do it? I am taking a long slow careful look at this. My feeling is that if you purchase no more than 1/3rd of what you are allowed and purchase non volatile stocks, you can limit some of the risks while maximizing your equities leverage (I do not short term trade). Though if you try to hit a homerun you are very likely to strike out. Being able to borrow $2000 for a cost of $170 a year is very attractive. Sorry for so much off topic stuff, but any other thoughts or experiences on margin would be appreciated. Feel free to send me a private message. AND... EGGS IS GOING TO KICK ASS, BACKUP THE TRUCK!!!! <G> There, not quite so off topic. Thanks, bps
