>>Schwab put WIND on their "no margin" list on Thursday......<< According to the list published on Schwab's web site, WIND is on a list of 75 stocks with a special 50% margin requirement. That's not the same as "no margin". The list was last updated on Tuesday, January 19. We discussed it earlier on this thread... exchange2000.com

Stocks go on the "no margin" list because the market-makers/brokers are having difficulty dealing with the current market volatility. The brokers are afraid that their customers who use margin, might walk away from a trade if the share price drops. The internet stocks will appear on the "no margin" list in ever increasing numbers. The trading volatility in WIND will probably be a short-lived transient condition rather than a way of life for the stock. Most days, WIND trades like sleepy-time compared to the internet stocks. Today, in an exception to the rule, WIND woke-up in free fall and finished trading in a wide-eyed adrenaline buzz. Frank
