I totally agree. If they raise margin requirements, say goodbye.

Do you realize that the majority of the trades in ONSL and EGGS is roughly 100-200shs?

That's the "Average Joe" trading. The "Average Joe" borrows money from his broker, giving him/her the ability to highly leverage.

Bad enough EVERYONE on margin that didnt have enough equity to back themselves received a margin call today.

I cant imagine what would happen if they raise the margin requirements..ouch!

I, for one am thankful I'm out with a mere 4pt gain...was up much much higher but just couldnt deal with getting called.

I am an "average Joe"

29...28....27...26....25. Getting closer?
