Technology Stocks : PROGRAMMER'S PARADISE (PROG) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Larry, the alleged reason for a 70% margin requirement on some stocks is the high volatility, not the lack of earnings. I don't see any evidence on this chart that PROG is any less volatile than say CMNT which now has a 70% margin requirement:

Incidently, like PROG, CMNT has earnings and is selling at a reasonable P/S ratio (and incidently CMNT is not an internet stock, it is a SAN play).
