Chief, this is what was just posted from one of our guys in the trading group Message 16351833 Looks like the operation to quell Short selling has gone undercover , the Schwab posting has changed today to read this : Important Note: Should market conditions warrant, we may be required to reduce or eliminate loan values on individual securities or industry sectors, this may result in margin calls being issued on some accounts. Please be aware of this possibility and exercise caution in trading in these uncertain markets. As an interim measure and until further notice uncovered option trades are prohibited. Short selling has been disabled electronically but you may be able to place a short sell by calling our trading line to status the availability of the stock. As of 09/14/01 at 09:30 EST: Canadian Markets - open, some US based securities remain halted US Markets - will remain closed until 9:30 a.m. EST, Sept. 17, 2001 Mutual Funds - will be processed depending on valuations by each fund company.
