The margin on EGGS is still 50% (at least at fidelity). They said only small float Inet stocks like ONSL had different margin requirements (80%). But it depends on the stock and it depends on the broker.

If they are putting the thinly traded stocks on 75% basis, it seems like this would be even better for EGGS. That is if they held EGGS at the 50% margin.
