3/2/21 $BB Discussion

I don't want to make a new post so hoping this gets seen.

I'm long BB with options and shares. I have a margin account with Tastyworks. When I bought my shares they required a 100% maintenance on the shares even though I paid without margin. I understand that volatile stocks can get hit with this so I let it go.

Recently I decided I wanted to start buying some calls before ER. The Apr16 $15 C was trading for about $0.60 but the buying power reduction is $1313.00!!

I have never had a BP reduction when BUYING a contract. This is the craziest shit I have ever seen and I've been trading options for almost 20 years.

I believe Blackberry, along with other stocks grouped in with GME are still being manipulated.

Anyone else having this issue?
