| | Business inventories were three times as large as they had been a year before (an indication that the public was not buying products as rapidly as in the past); and other indicators of economic health—freight carloads, industrial production, wholesale prices—were slipping downward. | | | An increase in margin buying, the act of borrowing money from lenders in order to buy stocks, helped many people invest in the roaring stock market of the 1920s. | | | By the end of the 1920s, however, capital investments had created more plant space than could be profitably used, and factories were producing more goods than consumers could purchase. |

| | The primary uses are to buy securities (called "buying on margin") or to extract cash from an equity position without having to sell it (thus avoiding the tax bite or the chance of missing a run-up). | | | Note that if you have a cash account with the same broker, securities held in the cash account (often non-marginable securities) do not help (nor can the broker sell them) if you have a debit balance in the margin account. | | | The agreement says that the broker can use as collateral any securities held in the margin account whenever you have a debit balance (i.e., you owe the broker money). |
