Robert,
If your broker's margin requirement was 50% & you had 200,000 in fully paid up securities. You could buy 200,000 worth of securities.

Formula is:

$200,000(what you want to buy) x 50% ÷ 50% = $200,000(in fully paid up securities)

Market value....$400,000
Debit balance...$200,000 (loan w/securities as collateral)
Equity..........$200,000 (Fully- paid securities on deposit)

If your margin requirement is different, formula still works just like this:

(Amount you want to buy) x (your brokers initial requirement) ÷ (balance of 100%) = (amount of fully paid securities required)

Before your plans get to big better study a little thing called margin call<LOL>

Good-luck!!
JC
