What bank is your trading account with? I'm with BMO and they still give me zero margin on the Bomber even though it's been trading above $50 ($2 PS) for two monts now. What margin are you getting? I'm thinking of switching banks.
I kid you not, Star. I've had margin accounts in both my holdco and personally with BMO Investorline for more than a decade. Whenever, bbd.b dipped below $2 in the past, they took away margin and then restored it when it held 30 days above $2. I am a 5-star client with a ridiculously large boatload of Bombardier stock in both accounts. I've called BMO three times now. A couple of weeks ago, I demanded to speak with a supervisor and he told me, I kid you not again, that they weren't considering giving margin on Bombardier shares "at this point in time". WTF? I said "you're treating this stock like it could go to zero at any time" when the company's doing great???
