>> Anyone else bought in by Datek to cover a short position recently? I was notified
today that I was bought in yesterday?! I found the entire procedure lacked
transparency. Any other buy-in experiences?<<

Was it because of margin requirement or was the stock called in (if it were a low float kind of stock)? those two are the usual reasons.
Would be interesting to know the reason of it is not from these two.
Wonder how the on-line brokerages will survive if a major downturn occurs.
