Keith, the interest will simply add into your margin deficit. If you end up simply selling cpq for a wash, you'd have the interest remaining as deficit. Csco is your only holding? so I take it you bought an amount of cpq equal to 1/2 value of csco stock (originally owned outright)? That's a big bet ... what if Cisco tanks by 50%. Do you have the funds to bring cash to the table, or will you be forced to sell at that point. Greg
