none of the pennies are on margin and I noted that the bigger ticket trades I do required more. IE it was always 50% if over $5 I think but it seems it varies now from 50 to 80% I am sure it is somewhere on my trading platforms. one broker I use I do not even have a margin account. My TD account is all margin.
so the answer is I dont have any idea when all the money is coming from. Maybe some pros are playing along or maybe it is a whole new generation that has jumped in. I am sure it is a lot of flipping .
Investing is for those who don't know how to trade
