Master-

I was under the impression that most firms had already increased margin requirements on volatile stocks. At Schwab, many stocks have 80% margin requirements (meaning only 20% of the market value can be on margin.)

JDSU is a 60% stock, and just about every other high tech stock you can think of aside from those like MSFT, INTC, SUNW, ORCL, CSCO, and the likes, are at least 50% stocks.

So I wouldn't think this new requirement would have much impact since most firms took protective measures last summer to minimize bad margin loans from free-falling stocks.
