Try losing $240k after recovering from being down to $30k last October only to now be at $15k. Margin can make you go up fast and come down faster. Currently have a huge call that needs money on Friday and the bulk of it Tuesday next week. If the market (AOL) does not bounce back I am screwed.

You see I am unemployed. Paying bills is always a good thing. So maybe I tied for the best sob story. I felt good when I had built it back up to $270k, but I feel like s--- now!!!

Come on bulls, got bills to pay and margin calls to avoid.
This ain't investing, its gambling...
Later, Dennis
