FFS. Try understanding how margin requirements now are very different then 1929

Initial margin requirement
For new purchases, the initial Regulation T margin requirement is 50% of the total purchase amount. So if you wanted to buy $10,000 of ABC stock on margin, you would first need to deposit $5,000 or have equity equal to $5,000 in your account.



Now for more experienced and larger portfolio's the margin requirement may be lowered to 25%

So for small accounts your position has to drop 50% before you get a margin call / forced sale .

Again ...in 1929 your position had to drop only 10% ...and it was automatically sold thus causing prices to cascade .

As I've stated before ... a retest of recent lows is a distinct probability .
A repeat of 1929 or your view ...a full reverse of the 2009 to 2021 bull market ...is not going to happen

And yet you bought last week around 3.50. What’s changed?

BTW - I hate your music…
