wgw. could this have any effect? INCREASE IN MARGIN REQUIREMENT FOR SMALL-CAP STOCKS Over a 4 day period, commencing at the end of the trading day on 30 October 2008, margin requirements for stocks with low market capitalization (under $100 million USD) and/or limited market liquidity will increase from the default margin [maintenance margin @ 25%, short margin @ 30%]. The increases will go through in a series of steps, between trading sessions, as follows: * Day 1 (2008.10.30): maintenance: 35%, short margin 50% * Day 2 (2008.10.31): maintenance: 50%, short margin 50% * Day 3 (2008.11.03): maintenance: 75%, short margin 75% * Day 4 (2008.11.04): maintenance: 100%, short margin 100% It appears you have one or more of the following stocks that may be affected by the margin change in your account WGW@AMEX Please examine your portfolio to determine if these increases will create any capital (margin) deficiency in your account. If it appears there may be a capital deficiency, we recommend adding capital, or reducing positions/risk to anticipate the change in margin requirements. Interactive Brokers Risk Management
