"Do brokers, in their own personal accounts, have access to 90% margin?" <<<GGG> Thank g-d I dont. The last thing ANYONE needs is that kind of leverage...your account falls 10% and you're out of business. As far as other firms, some firms setup arrangements where they lend you cash, lend you capital, thus leveraging your equity. I don't know any specific firm, but its a strategy that might lead you to the same course as long term capital...OB. Gobble Gobble, Steve@yamner.com
