GOALS Margin Buying © South-Western Educational Publishing
What is “Buying on Margin? ” Buying stock on credit Margin increases your b u y i n g power. © South-Western Educational Publishing
APPLY You must sign a “Margin Agreement” with your broker. You must be “Approved” to Buy on Margin” © South-Western Educational Publishing
When you buy on margin, how much of the purchase price must you put up? Initially --- 50% 50% 50% © South-Western Educational Publishing
Who determines the percentage? The Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a The “FED” Skip to © South-Western Educational Publishing
Why do you think there is a limit on the amount of money that brokers can lend? If brokers lend too much money, losses could be great High losses on margin accounts were one reason the stock market crashed in 1929 Stock owners received margin call and could not meet them © South-Western Educational Publishing
Who’s Calling? Did You Know? If a customer can’t provide additional cash, a broker can sell shares in the account, even without the knowledge or consent of the customer. If other stocks are in the account, the broker may sell these shares in place of, or in addition to, the shares of the falling stock. © South-Western Educational Publishing
RISK Think a 50% loss is bad? It can get much worse. Buying on margin is the only stock-based investment where you stand to lose more money than you invested. A dive of 50% or more will cause you to lose more than 100%, with interest and commissions on top of that. © South-Western Educational Publishing
What are the advantages of buying stock on margin? An investor can buy MORE stock and make HIGHER returns © South-Western Educational Publishing
What are the disadvantages of buying stock on margin? Stock purchases must pay interest on the loan, and if the stock goes down, their losses would be higher © South-Western Educational Publishing

What is Short Selling Short selling is the sale of stock borrowed from a broker It is a strategy often used when a buyer believes a particular stock will go down in value. © South-Western Educational Publishing
Short Selling A short seller believes a particular stock’s price will drop and enable him/her to repay the borrowed shares with lower-priced ones. The difference in the price between when the stock was borrowed from the broker and when it was repaid would be the short seller’s gain. © South-Western Educational Publishing
If the stock’s price rises, however, a short-seller will lose money because the borrowed shares will be repaid with higher-priced ones. © South-Western Educational Publishing
Example if an investor borrows 100 shares of a particular stock from a broker at $10. 00 a share , selling it on the market at that price, the investor sees the stock drop to $5. 00 a share and buys the 100 shares from the market to repay the broker making a $5. 00 per share profit. © South-Western Educational Publishing
This can be a risky transaction; if the shares go up to $15. 00 per share the investor will lose $5. 00 per share and needs to use cash to buy back the shares. © South-Western Educational Publishing
