Essentially, it allows investors to buy more stocks than they could afford with their own funds alone. However, margin trading comes with risks. If the value of the securities bought on margin decreases significantly, investors may face margin calls, requiring them to deposit additional funds or sell securities to cover losses. It's essential for investors to understand the risks and carefully manage their margin accounts.
