Margin Deals, in finance, transactions in which a purchaser buys securities by paying a percentage of the price and pledging the securities to guarantee payment of the balance of the price.
For example, an investor pays a broker a specified sum (margin) toward the purchase of shares of stock.
The broker advances as a loan the remainder of the money needed to purchase the shares.
If the price of the stock remains constant or rises, the broker's loan is protected.
If the price begins to fall, the broker notifies the investor that the stock will be sold unless an additional margin is advanced.
