I avoid them by having to sell into brutal drops so that the equity stays above 40%. Monday was bad but October was a brutal one, too. Your move is wise. Capital preservation is so important. I learned that last year being short AMZN. but I simply don't let the equity percentage get that low even if I am using a lot of margin, and I have been for a solid decade now. It seems like a dumb maneuver but it has worked like a charm. Actually, one can get out and in to a security for so little money now, your approach makes a lot of sense. I was teasing about getting one as you know. Glenn
