Dear XXXXXXXX

Thank you for your message regarding the potential additional risk in shares of SPNG. I looked into the details of this stock and can confirm that there are a few factors to be made aware of when trading them through E*TRADE. This stock has a 100% margin requirement. This means you must pay 100% of the price in cash and unable to use any margin buying power to purchase any percentage of this stock.

Please note that the initial margin requirements on a specific stock may adjust the margin buying power you can use to purchase the stock. The margin buying power that is reflected online in the Balance screen reflects your buying power when a stock has a 30% minimum maintenance requirement, which is usually the case. If a stock has anything more than a 30% requirement, your buying power for that stock will go down. To view the margin maintenance requirements for your stock please review the following web address:

When trading a security that trades on the OTC (over the counter), Pink Sheets, or a Penny Stock such as SPNG, there is a significant risk that your order may not be executed.

This can even occur when it trades at or below your limit price have taken place. The OTC and other markets are highly unregulated, and market makers are not required to execute your order even if it is the best currently available. Because of this fractured market, you may have to place several orders before you receive an execution. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any further questions.
