hmmm For stocks that, on average, lose 1% per week, after one year Without margin you still have 59.3% of your stock value left. (0.99^52) With margin of 50% losses = (1- 0.99^52)= 1 - 0.593 = 40.7% 40.7% of 1.5x = 61% losses so you would have 39% of your stock value left. Is that right? It certainly explains my portfolio :0) Also, what happens if you also apply a 30% tariff? -g- Would this mean you would only have 9% of your portfolio left?? This does entirely explain my portfolio -ng- :-)
