Interactive Brokers just sent an email out to clients saying they were going to greatly increase margin requirements on PCG and gave their clients TEN MINUTES notice. Lots of people about to get hosed

quote:

Because of the California wildfires and market volatility, IBKR is increasing the margin requirements for the following investor-owned utility companies:

Affected Products
Initial / Maintenance Margin Increase to
PCG 38% (30% for Portfolio Margin Accounts)
EIX 38% (30% for Portfolio Margin Accounts)
SRE 30% (20% for Portfolio Margin Accounts)

You can expect to the margin increase to take place within the next 10 minutes.

This new NYT piece is batshit insane. Sandberg should go to prison. Schumer should go to prison. None of these dirtbags should be allowed to run a lemonade stand ever again.

quote:

While Mr. Zuckerberg has conducted a public apology tour in the last year, Ms. Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign to combat Facebook’s critics, shift public anger toward rival companies and ward off damaging regulation. Facebook employed a Republican opposition-research firm to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, lobbying a Jewish civil rights group to cast some criticism of the company as anti-Semitic.
...

In July, as Facebook’s troubles threatened to cost the company billions of dollars in market value, Mr. Schumer confronted Mr. Warner, by then Facebook’s most insistent inquisitor in Congress.

Back off, he told Mr. Warner, according to a Facebook employee briefed on Mr. Schumer’s intervention. Mr. Warner should be looking for ways to work with Facebook, Mr. Schumer advised, not harm it. Facebook lobbyists were kept abreast of Mr. Schumer’s efforts to protect the company, according to the employee.

I’m with you but I plan on pressing if this breaks support (which is around here). There’s another 20 percent down before even having to play the next earnings report. People are going to start sniffing around at Black Friday, and it’s going to be a dog pile.

Looks like it broke another daily support level. Can see it going down to 5.43 by EOD or tomorrow.

There was speculation by an analyst that there would be nationalization because PCG can only absorb so many judgments before going bankrupt. If they’re using their infrastructure as collateral, nationalization is what effectively will happen. PCG also isn’t doing themselves any favors by maxing out the credit cards in anticipation of a bond downgrade. That’s a desperation Hail Mary move, and I don’t think the stock price would’ve taken the hit that it did if they hadn’t done that. Basically their actions are tacitly admitting fault. I can’t imagine they would pull a Hail Mary / out of bullets, throw the gun move if they weren’t in dire straits.

Down another 25% today. I shorted yesterday towards the end of the day. Thanks for the tip.


As an aside, there’s going to be north of 100 fatalities here and the number missing is only going up.

Im just seeing it on twitter but I assumed it was true. Also rumors from an unnamed California official that they want to avoid bankruptcy. Others on Seeking Alpha say no news. /shrug

Got up to 25.50 AH. It’s basically all rumors and herd mentality. Why 25 instead of 22? Or 20?

Edit:
And it shrugs this off nbd.

This is going to be nuts tomorrow, I'm short at 25.50 on an order that I honestly forgot about. It filled at 7:08pm. Crazy. There's not going to be any real visibility on this for days, at the very least. Great trading opportunity if you've got the nerve, too bad it revolves around people losing their homes and lives. I honestly cant believe the SEC is letting this run this late in the AH, its definitely being hosed with

Edit: shorting more a little over 26

*if* they turn out to be responsible and negligible (even contentiously negligible), I think conservatorship is likely. It's a long time broken system and it's ripe for change and this could be the catalyst. I don't expect it to trade at 26 tomorrow, and a further cut to junk is all but inevitable

Ps missing people now at 600+ This may rival the Peshtigo fire from the 19th century.

Upon further reflection, there is no way the people of California agree to limiting liability to PG&E if there are 500+ dead for a problem that PG&E has known about. California is going to limit the losses towards the stockholders? Nope.
