I've updated the list of broker margin rates. A notable surprise was the substantial increase in TradeMonster's margin borrowing rates. I'm not sure exactly what their strategy is here (besides making more money that is), but such a significant change in the margin rate can't be good for Portfolio Margin investors.

TradeMonster clears through Apex (formerly Penson). Penson has had a lot of problems lately (see: http://www.tradersmagazine.com/issues/25_339/penson-assets-apex-110131-1.html ) so I bet the margin rate increase is driven by Apex. TradeMonster also increased their application requirement to 300K for Portfolio Margin, per Apex's request. 4/29/2013 02:25:28 pm
