Interesting statistic from the Ameritrade warning. Their 1st quarter ended 12/31. It suggests the margin squeeze may be over as discount customers reliquify.

"First-quarter average margin balances would be at the low end of $2.3 billion and $2.5 billion, AmeriTrade said. This is below the fourth-quarter levels of just under $3 billion, indicating that clients are paying off their margin loans, and reducing one of AmeriTrade's sources of income, Worthington said."
