Ylang, yep that's what it means if they do that. Currently at Schwab at least, if you have $100,000 (since 10K will get you nowhere with Q - LOL) or any amount of $$, you can buy up to twice that amount in Q stock. IOW - you have to have cash for 1/2 of the total purchase price, the rest is loaned to you on margin. CMGI on the other hand has to be paid for entirely in cash - $100,000 gets you $100,000 worth of CMGI stock. The same money gets you $200,000 in QCOM stock. If Schwab raises the requirements and you have QCOM stock, with 50% of the purchase price loaned to you, you have to come up with the other 50% fairly quickly so your Q stock is entirely paid for. Schwab also has a 70% level, where a stock has to be 70% paid for. Best, Jeff Smith
