Sure sure.. good point.. but my grand pa always faithful to the real-based economy always told me not to buy anything on debt... but pay up-front everything.. no mortgages, no credit card nothing..

I broke the rule and I got a credit-card.. which I try to cover with 10 times the credit int he account..He still loks at me as "know-nothing of the world" (he is absolutely right I have never been in a fascist concentration camp, he has)

So I count as if all the business go south .. then I know how much I lost at the most... So 10k is the msot I am ready to lose... so I would only take the equivalent on shares. It would be 2000 euros... a third of a share... I can push up to half a share.

I always do numbers like this.. if banks would do it like that we would not be in the mess we are.. but there again, capitalism would be a very different beast :)

A pleasure
