Freeus: When one goes below 35% it creates a margin fed call. During the time that you have to meet the fed call, the stock can go down even further, but it does not add further to the amount originally stated as being "due". Four days, has been a long time, in the trading pattern of Dell. This is the basis of my "margin trap". I set my "trap", and sometimes close it out the very day I set it. But because I concentrate on just Dell, I have become something of a nut at being able to close out my Dell positions, in very favorable ways. I feel more than compensated, for taking the so called additional risk, of having a concentrated position. In the bove example, how low do you think the % equity can go down, during the four days? This is a test.<gggg> Does anyone else have an answer to this question? In other words, I think I have an answer, but I think not many realize how low the number is. (smile) Later...
