I think I have finally sorted it all out. Basically, I did not understand that there had been a recent push by NASDAQ to have brokerage houses revise their margin requirements. The sudden change in requirements confused me but I think I understand it now. It used to be that brokers would give you a 50% margin to buy stocks. Not true any more. The margin you are given now depends on what individual stock you buy. The margin allowed is anywhere from 30% to 70%. It's gonna make a mess out of the buying habits of margined accounts but it will make things safer for brokers.
