Michael:

Many brokerage houses have different rules, but I have dealt with Schwab, Quick and Reilly and Waterhouse. Those guys require that you supply 100% of the funds up to the low limit (let's say it a $5 limit). After the stock goes higher, they will loan money(margin) on it. So if a stock is at $7, you put up $5 and the brokerage company loans you $2. At $9, they loan you $4. etc. At $5 stock price they loan you nothing. In effect, the margin limitations actually start to kick in around $10 per share.

Happy Holidays,
Ken
