This dumbfounds me. I'm starting to worry that my broker could go BK when they start pulling this sht: Notice to margin customers-Temporary maintenance requirement extended to July 24 Due to the ongoing unusual market conditions, Bidwell & Company will continue to offer the temporarily reduced maintenance requirement on stocks through Wednesday, July 24, 2002. The temporary maintenance requirement is 25%, reduced from 35%. Please take advantage of any market appreciation during this time to create an equity buffer in your account up to 35%. They initially let people drop below 35% for two weeks to today, now they've extended it another two weeks. Since when are margin maintenance rules optional? Who do they think they are helping? The client? Themselves? I don't think anybody benefits from this crap. Fcking scary. Seriously - this really worries me. You know those rules we developed after the 1930s experience? Nah, we don't need them no more. We're sooooo much smarter. Funny you mention Grand Supercycle Bear... <ng> BC
