| | Margin accounts allow investors to buy a lot of shares with a relatively small amount of cash up front by using the assets currently held in their accounts as collateral. | | | Your equity in the account rises and falls as the price of the stock rises and falls but the debit balance remains the same -- except for the accruing interest, which is at an annual rate of anywhere from 8 percent to 10 percent at the moment -- until you repay the debit. | | | As in any borrower-lender relationship, brokerage firms make money on margin accounts by charging interest on the debit balance. |

| | Operating Margin |
| | Operating margin is a measurement of what proportion of a company's revenue is left over after paying for variable costs of production, such as wages, raw materials, etc. A healthy operating margin is required for a company to be able to pay for its fixed costs, such as interest on debt. | | | When looking at operating margin to determine the quality of a company, it is best to look at the change in operating margin over time and to compare the company's yearly or quarterly figures to those of its competitors. | | | For example, if a company has an operating margin of 12%, this means that it makes $0.12 (before interest and taxes) for every dollar of sales. |
