what to say, page-7

Glad to hear it. During past corrections, I just got sick of all the negativity, and ignored the market for 3 months, after that it was usually back to normal.

This time, in my infinite wisdom, I geared up after the market dropped the first 20-25%. Around May. Sadly, I was about 5 months too early - so far.

Due to the structure of my arrangements, a margin call is still a long way off, but it is still a possibility, so I don't feel I can just ignore the market. Very annoying, and I'm trying to sell down holdings wherever possible now - in other words, whenever a parcel gets to breakeven, I'm out. Haven't had too many opportunities yet.

For me, it's vital that I avoid the forced sales, because that is what causes annihilation. If I get through this, it'll all come back, good as gold, but if you're forced to sell at the bottom, you're screwed, big time.
