Trading 101: What is a Margin Account?

Trading 101: What is a Margin Account?

There are two main stock trading account types: cash account and margin account. The one that most new traders are unsure of is the margin account. In this video I will talk about what a margin account is and how it works, particularly in regards to leverage money.

I watched a different youtuber explain stocks with a notepad in front of me, and every time I was confused or needed to look something up, I wrote it down. Filled up a whole page and felt overwhelmed. I watched 6 of your videos with my pen and paper, and didn't write down any questions. I understand! This is so great, thank you very much. :)

I use E*TRADE. I only want to use my own money but I can’t wait for money to clear from multiple trades daily. Is a margin account the answer ? Or will I be paying fees to E*TRADE to cover me until my money clears ?

[jeffytube]

So in a margin account, say you put $5, 000 in. But you only invest the $5, 000 not the $5000 borrowed, would you be charged marginal interest ?

[garyzimmerman]

Excellent explanation of margins. No beating around just straight out forward.
