77. Margin Trading & Investing Explained
This is an advanced episode, but also a very important episode to help you understand market mechanics and put another piece together in the stock market puzzle we are conquering - with education! We gave you a few replay episodes before this one to help you prepare for a heavy dose of knowledge, so buckle up, because we’re about to math real hard.
What is Margin Trading or Investing?
When you buy a stock on margin, you create the ability to borrow against those stocks. You are required to own a certain percentage of those stocks. Any equity or surplus owned in excess of those percentage requirements, you can create a loan and buy more stocks. A great analogy is a home equity line of credit, or HELOC. But a bit more complicated, because stocks are priced every milisecond, which means requirements change every day, and there are requirements on what you buy with that loan.
Risk Tolerance: High
Margin is extremely risky, it provides leverage which means you can make more than you deposit, but you can also lose more. It magnifies gains and losses. You can easily lose a lot of money with this type of investing, so you really gotta know what you’re getting yourself into with this type of account!
Shorting Stocks Is Extremely Risky
We’ll also discuss the trends on social media around shorting Meta stocks and others and how easily you can lose money quickly when attempting those kinds of trades.
