Even though this board appears more techie than trader, can anyone give me a decent explanation of the margin requirements of most of the major brokerage houses in terms of the price of a stock falling below $5. I'm at Fidelity and ALL margin becomes due when price drops below $3. If most others had a $5 threshold, as is often quoted, a short strategy could probably be developed.

Also, any insights on Cirrus Logic (CRUS) which designs and manufactures integrated circuits? At a nine year low $6 stock price and a mgmt. team slimming down to only core competencies... is now the time to dive in at the darkest hour? Oh, same question could be put to AMAT after today's bashing.

BK,
This article suggests that INTC is having problems getting
"matched" processors that are tuned to work with each other. The
implication is that they are having yield/performance/timing issues
in their early production, this is somewhat normal until the manufacturing process is optimized to provide reproducible results.
Could take weeks or months to iron out the wrinkles.

Just my opinion,
BB
