Robert, If your broker's margin requirement was 50% & you had 200,000 in fully paid up securities. You could buy 200,000 worth of securities. Formula is: $200,000(what you want to buy) x 50% ÷ 50% = $200,000(in fully paid up securities) Market value....$400,000 Debit balance...$200,000 (loan w/securities as collateral) Equity..........$200,000 (Fully- paid securities on deposit) If your margin requirement is different, formula still works just like this: (Amount you want to buy) x (your brokers initial requirement) ÷ (balance of 100%) = (amount of fully paid securities required) Before your plans get to big better study a little thing called margin call<LOL> Good-luck!! JC disclaimer; check with your own broker to verify. PS: congradulations on your increased position in life & TSIG

Robert, "If TSIG then becomes listed on NASDAQ, will I then be able to buy $200,000 worth of stock on margin if I wish?" I advise you completely against margin buying. If the market turns on you, and you don't you the money to cover your margin, your account gets liquidated thus not giving you the option from having to recoup when the market goes up again. I am telling you from experience. Please avoid it. peace and good luck. peacelover

Unfortunately, marginability requires more than a Nasdaq listing and a price of 4 or 5. Each brokerage sets its own standards in regard to margining each stock, depending on a lot of factors. My guess is that it will take about 6 months AFTER a Nasdaq listing for TSIG to become fully marginable, but it is difficult to say.

From one Robert to the other. I wouldn't worry that far ahead.... how about a little bit of reality. I have been long on TSIG for nearly a year and bought in at near .60 a share with a large position. I heard all the claims about how TSIG was going to $5 within the week, etc. Well in reality I have lost on only one stock in the year 1998 and that is TSIG. I called for a private placement (which since has happened). I applaud the hiring of Coherent and the appointment of this lad as a board member. This may be bigger than we realize. IN MY OPINION THE CURRENT TSIG WEBSITE IS A COMPLETE JOKE!!!! I don't believe TSIG will be taken seriously until they complete redesign this site and start to play with the big boys. If Coherent did the HP site I'm impressed, because this works great and is state of the art. I also am not going to get hyped anymore about this stock until is maintains a share price above $1.00. Go TSIG Robert M.
