Donald - in that that 1998 table you calculated the average PSR (1.01) and the average PBR (1.31). Could you do the same for the recent data? Any other comparisons would be greatly appreciated. TIA Scott FWIW, I just placed the following on another post: ---------- I've been in contact with Schwab twice over the past couple of business days. They are being swamped by margin calls and the pace is not abating. I asked some questions about the process of maintenance calls and one interesting fact came to light: if an account is in arrears, and a check or other withdrawal is presented, the account must be brought into compliance by 11:15 a.m.(eastern) or SEC governed actions will be triggered. I would imagine most investors would not want such indiscriminate selling in their account; thus it seems that most margin-corrective activity will be occurring between 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. . My guess is there is a huge amount of this activity occurring. Perhaps all of us need to take this into consideration when contemplating trades over the next week or so. ----------
