Under the rules of NYSE and NASD, customers who are deemed "pattern day traders" must have at least $25,000 in their accounts and can only trade in margin accounts. For more information, you can read the NASD's Notice to Members and the New York Stock Exchange's Information Memo
Is this true? I only wanted to mess around with a few thousand...

yes, its true. none of US brokers will allow you to make more then 3 trades in a 3 days, or some bullshit like this. i day trade pennies, but only sometimes, when there are some big news, anyway i rather invest in good penny stocks
