Wouldn't it be funny if they announced the IPO after the bell today while people are napping? :-)

No. Don't work for Schwab or any other broker etc.... Just a comment to your outburst. Calm down. Regards, Timothy

The Schwab issue needs some clarification since I first introduced it. I deal with Schwab. I like themn; executions are timely and good; their online services are , to me anyway, relatively quick. On their website they list some fifty securities, internet related, with the 50% margin requirement, up from their normal 35% rate. I called them and specifically asked them about Navr, since Navr was on that list, and since I hold a number of shares of Navr I was curious as to how the margin requirement affected my account. On the account executive's screen, he said that , according to him, Navr was trading on the normal 35% margin requirement. That was yesterday; he checked with Scwhabv's margin division and they too said that Navr was still on the 35% requirement, even though it is a stock lumped with the others , on the website screen. He again checked this morning with the margin division and was told the same thing: Navr, at 35%. With all the volatility in internet stocks, to trade navr at 35% and the others at 50% is still, to me, a pretty good deal.

Zurdo, Datek has had NAVR on 100% margin for as long as I have followed it (late Dec). Datek's executions are very good, however during peak I have had trouble getting recognized by a server (two days in the past 90 usually during the 1st hour of trading when market has been crazy). I have gotten premarket orders executed as well (must have been routed through island). They have a thread here on SI. BTW their interest paid is around 4% and margin rate is 8%.
