George, ETrade will let you margin against Xoma. They are pretty flexible. I have one stock trading at $3.50 that I see I can margin against. Don't know how they decide this, I thought $5 was the standard lower limit. I also saw ETrade was letting people margin against the Internet stocks, but not at standard percentages. I know you have hoped in the past for Xoma to find a place within the biowarfare industry.
