I absolutely agree but ...

margin is the only way to leverage and increase the volume.  To me it's like a drug -- it may feel safe if only used once a while, but I know that's totally illusion.   

I only use it when I run out of cash and I am 90% sure about the trade.  And I exit the trade quickly. 

I never hold on to a stock for long time.  My only long term holding is gold & silver, small percentage though. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
