Waterhouse was cited in the Wall Street Journal yesterday as raising Margin requirements on some internet stocks. The truth of the matter is Waterhouse is applying restrictions to "Concentrated Accounts" as they often do. An account invested wholly in AOL, Yahoo!, and e-Bay is not affected. An account invested completely in e-Bay must meet 50% minimum Margin requirements on a daily basis. A diversified account must start at 50% equity and are permitted to fall to 35%.
