What Does Is Mean to Buy On Margin?
Buying stocks on margin, to put it simply, is doubling your buying power buy borrowing up to 50% of a stock's price from your broker. In order to buy stocks on margin, there are a certain number of things to keep in mind. First of all, certain stocks can't be bought on margin. For example, any stock that is less than $5 a share (also called penny or micro-cap stocks) cannot be purchased on margin.
