margin calls for being bullish on amzn. sir, you utter heresy!
don't think there would be margin calls on amzn just yet.
reasons are
a)the cost basis for most people is quite low
b)the margin requirement for buying the stock is higher than 50% @ most brokerages, but the margin maintenance requirement is 30%(the fed. call requirement)
just my understanding. have not recvd a margin call in 5 years so am not up on the latest...
