Schwab just raised margin requirements today on ELON from 35 to 60% - that fact is omitted from their web page, and the rep told me that they have "lots and lots" of stocks for which the requirement is less than 100%, but are not listed there.

I am royally pissed off!

Does anyone have any suggestions for brokers who do not have so many stocks on their "extra margin requirements" list?

Thanks,
Jeff Smith
