I don't have any margin accounts and definitely do not plan on getting any but, I do have many questions regarding them.
1. what accounts can use margin?
2. how does one generally qualify for margin?
3. can the broker essentially make a margin call at any time?

thanks

Q: QBTC share price has gone negative relative to the NAV as you had mentioned - but it is going deeply negative - close to 10% (?) Would there be something more underlying to this than simply competition? Over the past 2 days there has been about an 8% differential as I am writing.

Q: This is a question about transferring GSY from my growth portfolio to my balanced portfolio. Both portfolio's are balanced and diversified. (I also have an income portfolio.) GSY is now more than 10% weight in my growth portfolio. And the balanced portfolio is 3 times plus the size of my growth portfolio. Transferring GSY from growth to balanced would mean not having to trim GSY....and my inclination to do this transfer stems from the recent move of SHOP from growth to balance, as I think GSY is now "mature". What say you about this transfer idea?.........Tom
