ask a finance supervisor for an updated listing of finance institutions offering hypo's.

Wachovia Bank in Atlanta offers UPS Hypothecation. You probably need a substanial amount of shares to hypo, they have minimums and they will basically tie up 2 times the value of the money you want to borrow. There are also some small fees.


Remember the BIG fish always eats the little ones!

Re: Hypo

FYI - if anybody got a letter from Wachovia -

Looks like Morgan Stanley's rates are about the same as Wachovia's and they didn't charge a stupid set up fee!!!

Re: Hypo

you should be very careful when considering a hypo. there was a time when the stock was private and consistently went up in value every quarter where a hypo was a good investment. As a public stock a market crash like last years could trigger a margin call and leave you with the tax consequences of the sale.

Re: Hypo

If for any reason you do not meet a margin call, the brokerage has the right to sell your securities to increase your account equity until you are above the maintenance margin. Even scarier is the fact that your broker may not be required to consult you before selling! Under most margin agreements, a firm can sell your securities without waiting for you to meet the margin call. You can't even control which stock is sold to cover the margin call.

Because of this, it is imperative that you read your brokerage's margin agreement very carefully before investing. This agreement explains the terms and conditions of the margin account, including: how interest is calculated, your responsibilities for repaying the loan and how the securities you purchase serve as collateral for the loan.

the best way to keep this from happening is to have some cash they can access during a call. that way there is not a fire sale of your assets, and the portfolio is stable.

nothing worse than a tanking stock, and them trying to dump it causing further supply, which decreases the demand. a vicious cycle.

thats one of the reasons during the crash, many people lost their homes, and several figured life was not worth living.

as tie said, within a few months after going public, ups stock lost its luster for a lot of people that had hypo'ed it in the past.

before then, it was a sure bet.

Re: Hypo

You are a little late, the hypos were a thing of the 90s. Pilots and mechanics that Hypo'd before the IPO were told to get and get out when it went public. Most did and converted to Bs then got out when the getting was good. Good luck on todays market but I would not risk it, I would say that Hypo was a thing to make people rich before the IPO. Most pilots and mechanics used BofA in ATL, they had a great deal in the 90's. The great deal for hypos were you were getting a great rate and you got 1 share of OPL for 4 shares of UPS. I ended up eating 800 shares of OPL (other peoples loot) but sold UPS at a great price. Again good luck on your financial endeaver.

Re: Hypo

Air if your point is right then they should have shot their investment advisor. getting out before the IPO cost them a 100 percent return on their investment.
