Tips
 Margin trading is an investment activity that allows investors to deposit a certain amount with a broker and then borrow money or shares enough to trade more than 3 times the deposit amount. This requires closing of positions within a certain period. According to a survey conducted by TSE in 2021, retail investors account for 94% and other investors account for 6% of margin trading on TSE by trading value. |
| On the other hand, short selling is an investment activity that is commonly used by institutional investors when they think a stock’s price will fall. This works by borrowing shares from brokers or other shareholders with the intention of selling them on the market and buying them back at a lower price in the future. |
