zecco said my hunch was right that for some very odd reason when nxhd r/s yday and i sold it and got the heck out, it for some reason triggered a margin call. i had it for a long time.

said others have that happen, if a stock r/s and the get out, it causes a margin call.

they said they will remove it asap. shwew!
