UPDATE: Kid Dynamite has an interesting perspective on the CME announcement, he believes that by using “initial/maintenance ratio” rather than “maintenance/initial” the CME is actually lowering the initial margin requirement to equal the maintenance margin. I think KD may be on to something with this idea, as usual great thinking by KD!
