Why did buying stocks on margin in the 1920's not only cripple the stock market but investors as well?
The question of whether buying stocks on margin eventually leads to severe market pullbacks has been the subject of intensive debate. Bull markets are typically associated with rising margin debt as Investors buy stocks on margin to leverage gains through the use of debt. The increased stock buying permitted by margin debt contributes to the strength and longevity of a bull market but this reverses during market pullbacks if investors receive margin calls and are forced to liquidate stocks. Margin buying by itself is not a dangerous practice and there have been prolonged periods during which margin debt remained at high levels and the stock market continued higher. The problem associated with margin debt is that a sudden adverse macro economic event that panics investors into selling causes prices to drop which can put margin buyers into a negative equity position. At this point the forced liquidation of stocks due to margin calls that cannot be met results in a self perpetuating event whereby lower prices force more selling which in turn causes further price declines. It can therefore be argued that margin debt per se does not cause a market selloff but can result in a steeper price decline than would have occurred if margin debt did not need to be liquidated.
