Kerensky's crippling was also his decision to continue the war against Germany, and this ultimately led to the rise of Vladimir Lenin.

"Buying on Margin" meant that you would only have to put down a small percentage of money (10%) and the broker would cover the rest. If the stock price dropped too low the broker could issue a "Margin Call" which means that the person has to repay all of the money that the broker put down. People often used this in the 1920s in order to buy more stock for less. i.e. Instead of buying 5 stock for $10, he could buy 50 stock for $10 and a loan from the broker.

If you were to sell the stock, the broker would get his money back plus a portion of the profits.

In the 1920s, the economy was booming, therefore, people began spending more than they earned, and started investing in the stock market as a way of making money really fast. When the stock market crashed on "Black Tuesday" in 1919, lots of people lost a fortune. Some even lost their life savings.
