And now they have stopped letting you have margin on almost all Internet stocks. They claim it is due to volatality. Stopping margin on these stocks will help the shorts. Hope that is not the real reason.

Way-to-go SEC! We are being punished for last weeks' irrational exuberance. <G> The market makers can take the stocks up as fast as they want - but when we, the retail investors, want to short the stocks - we are all LOCKED OUT! We are locked out of recovering our money and the SEC and our brokers are laughing all the way to the bank. And remember, Rubin and Greenspan are probably behind this market manipulation. <G> One call to the major brokerage houses this morning - and BAMP, the rug is pulled out from under traders - LOCKED OUT!. Fortunately, many of us were not long - just trying to take advantage of an anomaly, but our brokers made sure that they would be the ONLY ONES to profit when the market was taken down.
