I don't understand what you mean about eBay or Amzn not being able to margin.. If you have sufficient James, it sorta works this way, and it applys to most of the on-line brokers: If you have 9K shares of C in one of your on-line accounts, your total Market value(equity) for that account is over $500K. Normally, your buying power, using the 5K City bank shares as a marginable base, will exceed $1 Million. Correct? Therefore you can buy lots of Amzn/Yhoo...etc.. However, if your Account has 4K Amzn(or Yhoo) shares, therefore the market value is also over $500K. But you may not be able to buy too many additional Amzn/yhoo shares using the same buying power(supposedly $1M), because Yhoo/Amzn are not marginable.
