Gersh; I got the notice several days ago, you bet they are going to kill the little guy who jumped in, I got the same same.. Call the broker message...and you can't get through.. ------------ One thing about SI , I find the name internuts a lot, so I think most SI people should have it figured. The nuts didn't crack all that hard back in July Aug.. this may be their time coming.. I know how to short them indirectly. Jim

Gersh, I stopped by my broker's office this morning, and overheard someone getting a margin call because of the net restrictions at Waterhouse. 'No, I'm sorry sir, I know you had plenty of available margin, but Waterhouse has put a 100% margin requirement on these shares, and they'll need to be paid in full'. 'If you can't deliver the money by 3 PM on the (can't recall date) you'll have to sell some of your positions to cover it'--'No sir, I'm sorry there's really nothing I can do'. Oh, the humanity. Barb
