Going with ET or Ameritrade or an online broker you do not have a local in case you have questions or want to make a deposit/WD etc etc.

Every stock I like is non marginable while others have it at a higher margin rate which makes a really big difference. And I don't mean penny stocks either. I don't trade garbage but I do take on somewhat thinly trades names.
