What is Margin Call?
🤖 LARRY'S TAKE
" Ah, the margin call, Wall Street's friendly wake-up call, where they politely ask you to pay up or enjoy a one-way trip to financial ruin. It's their way of reminding you that your dreams of financial independence have just been outsourced to reality. "
BORING DEFINITION
A margin call occurs when an investor's account value falls below the brokerage's required minimum value, prompting the investor to deposit more funds or sell assets to cover the shortfall.
REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
> John received a margin call after his tech stock investments plummeted in value, forcing him to either liquidate some of his shares or inject more cash into his account to meet the broker's maintenance requirements.
