>>>Would this present the risk of a house (or whatever kind) call? I mean if the brokerage didn't have any to short against?<<< Maintenece requirement is usually 5% of equity. Since the value doesn't change (position is neutral) I don't see how you'd get a margin call. Since you have the shares long, I'd think that the broker would have at least that many to lend. I saw the misprint trade on PCQuote. Really those happen all the time, just not so far out of the trading range. I still have an IRA at Waterhouse. Barb
