For short positions, the maintenance requirement on stock greater than $5, is $5 per share or 30% of the stock value, whichever is greater. For short positions in stock where the last sale price/share is less than $5, then the maintenance margin requirement is $2.50 per share or 100% of the stock value, whichever is greater.

What are you, a billionaire risking his billions to short against a stock that is just breaking out into a gigantic promotion?

Well, you ain't Buffet, that's for sure.

That, or you're trying to make some beer money.
