Q: I am currently margined and down…what to do?

First off, as soon as the market starts to pull back a bit, I new these questions would start.

In summary buying and holding on margin is a MISTAKE.  NEVER, EVER, EVER buy and hold on margin, EVER!  There is no benefit to this, and it’s only a liability. 

If you are currently on margin and not trapped yet where you could get a margin call if markets continue downward, GET OFF MARGIN.  I am 100% sure this is the best advice I could ever give.  Remember what caused the huge market collapse, DEBT!  There is no need for long term stocks on MARGIN!
