In all fairness, happy girl, your opinion about the houses just wanting to "create a steady base for YHOO by weeding away the daytraders and all the other short term speculators" and that "this has been achieved" is interesting.

In an article by Robert Louis of the San Fran. Chronicle he states

Ameritrade, DLJ Direct, E-Trade, Charles Schwab, Suretrade and Waterhose among others have raised margin requirements "because they fear the stocks will plummet causing investors to default on their debts."

I don't think they will weed out anyone who has the money to trade!

In order to be blue chip, dont you need a continuous record of dividend payments?

I don't mean to be adversarial, just observation.
