extremely risky (margin)
I have been scared to death of margin, and the results show. Over the last four years my investments went from $25000 to $500000 mostly due to Dell and IBM. At no time did I borrow money (I do have a house loan). It helps me sleep at night to know I don't have to pay any back (except to the IRS) but your stories do make me want to kick myself for not taking more advantage of my opportunities.

I saw a show where Warren Buffet & Bill Gates were talking to a business show. Buffet said if you know your business and you see something good happening that you know is good, jump in with both feet.

Apratim: Thank you for the comment. I will look more seriously into options for leverage. Although I sure enjoyed myself last year! Also, I am trading alot less the past three months, and making more money.
