Maybe if you have a super low cap, high fees, and they automatically close your position at a pretty conservative point. But that'd hardly be worth any broker's time with that risk/reward, unless they are hosing the borrower with insane fees. Though if that's the case, putting up collateral would be cheaper (even if you have to borrow it from somewhere).
