...that they will raise margin requirements in order to quell the rampant speculation...

Hopefully that will only apply to long margin, not short. (Just a joke - I don't use THAT much margin either way).

last time they did this margins
went to 65%.

CS, when was the last time? I didn't know the Fed had jurisdiction over brokerage margin requirements. This is new to me, thanks for posting it.

Tom
