buying on margin

Read a random definition: proxy contest

A quick definition of buying on margin:

Buying on margin is when someone borrows money from a broker to buy stocks. This means they only have to pay a small percentage of the total cost upfront, but they have to pay back the loan with interest. If the value of the stocks goes up, they can make a profit, but if the value goes down, they can lose a lot of money.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Buying on margin is a type of investment strategy where an investor borrows money from a broker to purchase stocks. The stocks purchased serve as collateral for the loan.

Example: Let's say an investor wants to purchase $10,000 worth of stocks but only has $5,000 in cash. They can borrow the remaining $5,000 from a broker and use it to buy the stocks. The stocks purchased will serve as collateral for the loan. If the value of the stocks goes up, the investor can sell them and pay back the loan with interest. However, if the value of the stocks goes down, the investor may have to put up additional funds to cover the loan.

This example illustrates how buying on margin can be a risky investment strategy. While it can potentially lead to higher returns, it also exposes the investor to greater losses if the value of the stocks purchased decreases.

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way

Yeah you should make it clear to them it's not exclusive

I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.

In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.

babycat

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking
