Yes, they are telling you that in their opinion RMBS is a risky stock and does not meet their normal "credit worthiness" tests for use as collateral to borrow against. Schwab is 50% margin requirement- at least it was last time I checked.

PS- edit, but that's interesting in that Fidelity is a big shareholder!?

James, remember leverage is a two sided sword. And if you holding a short position that means you holding a margin position. With the recent rise in RMBS there are bound to margin calls going out. Who can blame Fidelity. Regards.
