• With Market Declines, Investors Face Margin Calls: A sharply declining market can hit investors two ways: As stocks fall in value, their collateral shrinks below the prescribed threshold, or brokerage firms themselves get nervous and tighten those thresholds. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (AMTD) says it's pulled back on the amount of money it lends investors for certain stocks and has been using more conservative criteria to trigger margin calls. Wachovia Corp. (WB) discussed tighter restrictions in an email to financial advisors earlier this week. At Citigroup Inc.'s (C) Smith Barney unit, declining markets have led to a spike in margin calls and some investors have been asked to respond more quickly than usual. Customers of prime brokerages, like hedge funds, may also be finding it more difficult to borrow. While these do not always face the same tightening margin requirements as retail customers, credit fears and banks' desire to hoard cash has made margin borrowing more expensive.
