    I made a mistake in this video. At 2:30 I say that the account was now worth $12,250. What I should have said was that it was worth $12,500. And to make it even crazier. I did the rest of the math correct as if I had said the correct $12,500 the whole time. I apologize. It should have been 12,500, not 12,250. Oops!

      And what if I tell you I was completely fine with the $12,250 and actually carried on with the example as if it’s a $12,500!
      Hahahahahaah no worries buddy it was a greatt explanation!

I asked some of the agent, but they asked too much personal information. Can it be trust? What question can they as to identify me?

  • @angusmac2037
    @angusmac2037 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video my man!
    Can you use stocks you already own within the account instead of cash to meet the initial margin requirement ? In the video, you say he has $5000 “cash” and wants to invest in XYZ....what if he has $5000 in XYZ stock and wants to buy $5000 more and has no cash? I realize it says “buy more stock with that stock as collateral” above him but it’s not mentioned...Thank you for your patience!

  • @appu537
    @appu537 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So when we recieve the margin call, does that mean that when we put extra money into the account, will it just stay there for the broker to cover up his investment, or wit will actually be invested in shares?

    • @3kkant

    I watched this because I saw this morning the following headline and wanted to understand what was happening: "Coronavirus Could Trigger Mortgage Market Crash as First FDIC-Insured Bank Falls" and "Mortgage holders could be in trouble as the first FDIC-insured bank falls in West Virginia." High-risk mortgage notes are vulnerable to being called, which would make mortgages due in full immediately. "When a bank’s assets get transferred to another institution following a bankruptcy or forced closure by state regulators, mortgages are turned over to another bank or investor.
    In such cases, the new lender can “call in” mortgage notes they find to be risky, making mortgage payments due immediately.

    do you get margin maintance back , say you have to add $ to cover maintenance so you add 100$ say the stock goes back up , do you get that 100 back in your account or you just owe less margin?

  • @rawhenrnh
    @rawhenrnh 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great explanation.

  • @HaIsKuL
    @HaIsKuL 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So it's the minimum percentage of the value of your position minus the loan over the value. Anything less, you'll have to pay up to reach that minimum percentage. If not, shares will be sold with the loan subtracted and now you're at a significant loss.

      Do you het a Margin call after a 0 equilaty or after a 0 available money to invest

  • @TheDonMan97
    @TheDonMan97 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Stupid question:
    In your example, why can't the maintenance margin requirement just be 0%?
    Let's consider an example:
    Initially,
    Stock value per share = $1
    Initial Margin Requirement = 50%
    Total shares to be bought = 10 000
    My investment = $5000
    Broker loan = $5000
    My total portfolio worth = $10,000
    Stock plummets to $0.5
    My total portfolio worth is $5000
    Now, the broker can still take back the loan they gave to trader by selling all his 10 000 shares.
    In this case, maintenance margin requirement = (my share of portfolio)/(Total worth of portfolio) = $0/$5000 = 0%
    What is the point of having a margin requirement bigger than 0% if they are always going to take the $5000?

      For sure, in fact the default way to invest is to buy with the cash you have in the account. You can only use margin if you apply to have a margin account

How much cash are you required to deposit to satisfied the margin call? 5K ?or the difference between 33.33% to 35% which will bump up the % to 35% ? thank you ! great contents by the way
