This is one of the reasons that you need to be measured if you are buying.
You may end up getting some ridiculously cheap entry points due to margin calls.
I set what seemed to be ridiculously optimistic BUY orders during Covid that ended up executing due to the heavy volatility.
Then a week later they were up 50 to 100 percent.

I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at. Margin calls are a clear indication of danger ahead. No?

ETA: Cliff notes please

ETA again: After re-reading, I get it now. Nevermind

Only if you are on the losing end. I remember that scene in Trading Places where the Dukes tried to corner the market and had come up over 200 million in cash in 1983 at the end of the business day.


One of the brothers gets a heart attack and says the best line of the movie.
