five-hundred-dollar rule

    0.01 sec.
five-hundred-dollar rule
The SEC provision that prohibits brokers from instituting punitive measures against an investor's margin-deficit account if the amount of the deficiency is under $500. The five-hundred-dollar rule is intended to preclude brokers from having to sell part of a client's investment position because of a relatively small cash deficiency in the client's account.
