House Screws ClientsFirst they issue a reduced maint. call saying the stock is volatile. Volatile would have been the drop off the high and not the last few weeks. Then they reduce the margins buying power. Last, come the margin calls. What you're seeing today is the houses that are doing this to their clients. When there is excessive margining on a stock the houses can decide to do this to protect themselves. I cleared most of my margined stuff before this became an issue but it burns my a s s that my margin dropped by 75% despite my prudence. Am I surprised this would happen just before one of the most important documents is released? Nope. Anyone one TD with a margin account have the same issues?
