<OT>Oh dear..DEPPPY!
You were very serious about the margin question and I was too much into my own trip.
I am margined, but right now very little. Sold some stuff this PM (not AOL) to be less so.
I have A Lot of AOL. Honest. But I have for some time. Peace of mind is number one and the way to destroy that is to chase stocks at a high price and stew in your own juices because it's on margin.
Folks who are really margined out are financially very secure or were thrown off the Blackjack tables in Jersey.
My portfolio is 85% tech. To be borrowing more would be big boo-tummy.
Ahuge dip? I go deeper into margin. Never more than 10%.
I need my sleep.
Peace
Craig
