Some people began to buy stocks on margin, which is similar to installment buying (on Credit)

Credit and the Stock Market

The Federal Reserve • The board of the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, worried about the nation’s interest in stock and decided to make it harder for brokers to offer margin loans to investors.

• Their move was successful, until money came from a new source: American corporations who were willing to give brokers money for margin loans.

• Buying continued to rise.

Investors increasingly used credit to buy stocks as the market rose.

Buying on Margin• Investors were buying on margin,

or buying stocks with loans from stockbrokers, intending to pay brokers back when they sold the stock.

• As the market rose, brokers required less margin, or investors’ money, for stocks and gave bigger loans to investors.

• Buying on margin was risky, because fallen stocks left investors in debt with no money.

• If stocks fell, brokers could ask for their loans back, which was called a margin call.

The stock market:people invest in a co. by

purchasing stocks; in return for this they expect a profit

With booming economy of the 1920's, $ was plentiful, so banks were quick to make loans to investors

also investors had to pay as little as 10% of the stock's actual value at time of purchasethis is called? BUYING ON MARGIN, and

the balance was paid at a later date
