Explain margin call. You have $100. Okay. And you want to invest $1,000, but you don't have it. They say, hey, here's some margin. Okay? As long as you have $100 for every $100 you have. We're going to let you have $900 in margin. So you have $1,000 to invest, you have to maintain that $100. So you go and you put your money into into those stocks. The share of those stocks now falls, including your original $100. The share that you bought at $100 is now worth $90. Well, guess what? You don't qualify for that full 900 because you have to have $100. But you bought ten shares at $100. They're down 10%. So what the thing is, it says, hey, listen, you need to deposit $10 into your account to bring it back to $100. Otherwise, you can't hold our money at interest. So you have one of two options. You put that $10 of your own money in to keep that requirement up. Or they say, okay, you have to sell some shares. You have to sell enough to keep in that requirement. Because now at $90, only going to let you have $800 in credit. So you got to sell some of that at a loss because remember, you borrowed 900. If you sell it at a loss, that's their money. So now you're actually down. If this is still too complicated, then the best way for me to. Ooga booga is.. Ooga booga is.. you borrow money with stock and money, you have borrow more money. If that money go down, you have to pay for more money. You know, pay for more money, your stock gets sold. And then when stock gets sold, stock price go down, meaning you owe money again. Now more stock has to sell to cover money you owe. But that stock sell make sell go down more and value go more and it continue go down. You get liquidated. Then you lose money of yours. You lose someone else money and you pay interest on money you lose that you have to pay back. Everybody lose. Ooga booga.
