OT: Low margin rates

rfj, I found these folks just by doing a google search; Firstrade.

Their margin rates seem to be very competitive, and more so once you get beyond $1 million dollars of borrowing (goes from 8% to 6.5% margin rate). Schwab doesn't give you as much of a discount as you borrow into that range (only goes from 8.5% to 8%).
