Spoke to schwab regarding margin requirements. The Risk Management department is responsible for these decisions as well as the market maker. They mentioned volatility
and expected earnings as factors.

While wsaccess has pricey comissions, they still have 50% equity to buy and 30% maintenance, even on QCOM.
YYB is off margin however, having singed her fingers badly.

OT: I appreciate all of the responses to my margin debt message, both public and private. Fidelity has, over the past year, raised my equity reqirement for QCOM a little bit every few months. This is the last straw. I've been with Fidelity more than 3 years, but I think I'll find another broker, and maybe get a better interest rate, to boot.

Regards,

Mark
