Actually, it's easier/safer taking small bits off the big elephants, if only the
elephants are doing the swings. <<

Yes well these brokerages are looking out for them selves they don't give a damn about traders just commissions.

Its strange and confusing to track the margin requirements for the nets at at the different online brokers.

For example, I have Discover and they won't let you margin Amzn or Ebay at all - ZERO margin - but for gnet and dclk its 50%. I have no idea why. The full service brokers all allow margin, don't they?.
