MM. Need a little help here. Just learned that SSB screwed a relative of mine out of apx 1/3 of his QCOM stock on a margin issue. Maint of margin is 60% at SSB on this stock as far as I know. When he exceeded that they claimed it was an SEC rule that, due to his concentrated position, he had to sell $3 worth of stock for every $1 he was over the Maint of margin limit. I am wondering if this is a SEC rule or just some SSB rule they sprung on him. Any help from any direction would be appreciated. I am really pissed to see SSB preying on older foks and, if they are lying, would like to have a piece of them.
