James I know, I was asking about the rules the online brokers are placing on the internet stocks - just to gauge possible swings in efax. I notice that since the margin requirements went to 100% on amzn and ebay, they tend to swing less.... it might be more a function of the size of those issues, I don't know. I have 2 stocks (dclk and gnet) which for some reason Discover allows 50% margin, whereas for amzn and bcst no margin is allowed. I have no idea what the criterion for this is. Dclk is at least as volitile as bcst. If I wanted to trade these in my full service account I would have no problem with margin, you are right. Michelle
