Yes, I am using a broker for my father called Lafferty in NYC. They use the 20/15 margin req on equity and 15/10 on Indexes. I have not seen anyone else use these low margin #'s. Commissions are about $50 per trade ... I believe this is the minimum commission they use for option trades. People are excellent to deal with ... not internet trading, phone trading with a broker. No tips or assistance or anything, but they have answered any questions I have thrown at them. Ask for Julie if you choose to call 1-800-221-8514. You can tell them you heard it from Andy Goetsch ... they'll know me. Hope this helps. Getcher
