Even though this board appears more techie than trader, can anyone give me a decent explanation of the margin requirements of most of the major brokerage houses in terms of the price of a stock falling below $5. I'm at Fidelity and ALL margin becomes due when price drops below $3. If most others had a $5 threshold, as is often quoted, a short strategy could probably be developed. Also, any insights on Cirrus Logic (CRUS) which designs and manufactures integrated circuits? At a nine year low $6 stock price and a mgmt. team slimming down to only core competencies... is now the time to dive in at the darkest hour? Oh, same question could be put to AMAT after today's bashing. RO
