Margin positions I saw some posters asking about margin rules well here they are:
Long positions:
$2.00 plus 50% of FMV
1.75 - 1.99 40% of FMV
1.50 - 1.74 20% of FMV
Under 1.50 No loan value
Securities eligible for reduced margin 70% of FMV
Also keep in mind that the broker/dealer does not have to follow these guidelines, and has the option to not extend margin loans. Also IIROC produces a list of stocks that are eligible for reduced margin and it is based upon liquidity and other prevailing measures.
Hope this helps
