At WebStreet, and I believe at most places, margin limit is 4 1/8.
To chose between FGI and HLX, multiply FGI price by 0.4614.
So, as it is now, you will get 5.51 vs. 5.31 HLX. 20 cents saving on HLX.

I sold FGI yesterday to realize a $1/sh loss on FGI for tax purposes, and bought the equivalent in HLX today.
I did the same thing last year selling FLC and buying CDG just before CDG got converted into FLC.
I hope the IRS cannot consider this a wash sale since there is still risk that the deal doesn't come through, right?
