I actually the margin requirements at Schwab are tighter than that William. At Discover Brokerage amzn, yhoo, ebay are not marginable at all. Theres a whole lot like that (all the leaders) and then another group which are 50% marginable. My gnet and dclk are in that basket which is why I have margin. Of course if you have a large account you can negotiate but I noticed a change in the daily swings of the large stocks (esp amzn and yhoo) after these margin requirements were implemented.

Of course I am only talking individuals here, the fund mgrs probably margin at will. But they are supposed to be more level headed (?)
