Prediction -- Not sure about PPOD, but tomorrow will be an ugly day for internet companies, and any other stocks that investors may choose to sell to meet margin maintenance requirements. This came out from Schwab at around 2PM today:

In response in the recent volatility of some Internet stocks, beginning today December 3, 1998, the maintenance requirements for 22 NASDAQ internet stocks will be changed.

The 22 NASDAQ, listed below, will be subject to a 50% maintenance requirement.

Margin maintenance requirements are set by the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and other
regulatory agencies to the jurisdiction of which we are subject; and
according to our sole discretion and judgment. Margin maintenance
requirements may change without prior notice.

Trades in these stocks should be placed with the new requirement in mind.

The NASDAQ stocks subject to the new maintenance requirement of 50%
are as follows:

AMZN Amazon.com
BAMM Books-A-Million
BCST Broadcast.Com
BYND Software.Net
CDNW CD Now
CMGI CMG Information
CNCX Concentric Networks
COOL Cyberian Outpost
DRIV Digital River
