Talk:Margin (finance)

Quality of assets
Are there any rules for a share to qualify as marginable, eg: actively traded, listed on the secondary market for a minimum of 30 days, if so i think it should be included. - 80.227.171.98 07:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)the man who lost it all

Margin debt interest
Anyone know what Margin Debt Interest is? Maybe someone could put a word or two about it in this article. Thanks kindly. JimScott 00:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Long and short - what does it mean?
good to read this to learn about the topic. But some of the terms are not explained and hard to search for. Especially: being long or being short - 210.1.9.100 09:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Additional ideas: difference between margin account and CFDs
this article does not make clear the distinction between a margin account and a CFD (contract for difference). If anyone actually knows this, please put it in. --ToyotaPanasonic (talk) 02:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
