Margin is ok ONLY if you don't mind going down and depositing cash for the shares you purchased. I learned this the hard way years ago. Now I bought a few thousand on margin knowing that it was likely going to require cash. They put a seven day hold on new funds but give immediate credit when covering margin. The things I do to fulfill my addiction. Oh well.
