By SEC rule, a stock is only marginable when its value is above $5. If the price falls below $5, then the stock holders will have to pay the full price instead of maybe only 50%. If they can't afford to pay the whole price, they will be forced to sell their positions. That's why you always see some relatively heavy sellings when a stock's price drops to near $5 mark, especially if the stock's original price was much higher than $5.

Hope this helps.
