I've been quite annoyed with Ameritrade telling me this is a "non-marginable security". They let me average down at one point, but won't let me do so again. Granted, I'm a small fish with a fairly insignificant portfolio, but I'm not trying to play with options here. I've seen this from time to time but thus far can't figure out what the rationale is.
