Margin--I'm using margin now, but the big difference is I'm limiting my use to 25%, and have that amount backed up by other assets. Last year, I went out of control and had a nasty surprise when the market dropped so quickly. I'm having the same feelings now, that we might be in store for a sharp correction in the net stocks--that's why I put some of my mistakes on the thread, for newer investors to keep in mind when everything connected to this sector runs up like it has recently.

Adelle, I use margin in the same way you do. If I knew anything about options, then maybe it would be different. I also have a very healthy respect for margins - no internets or any other volatile stocks. I'm sure it has helped my returns when using earnings plays. Options are next on my list - if only those 48 hour days would get here! Mary
