One more to add, RH will only charge you interest on money you are using. If it is sitting in your buying power it won’t charge you which is amazing.

You say the margin fee is per day, but the interest on the margin is yearly but accrues daily. So whatever the percentage is divided by 365 times the borrowed amount is what you owe.

[@mml1224]

great video, however, i heard robin hood as a plan where u choose to pay margin rates on ur margin in exchange w/ giving up your profits at a greater percentage, is that true?

So let’s say you take margin $1000 at 10% rate and buy 10 shares of a 100.00 stock. One week later the stock is worth 110.00. What is due to who and when ? Is it like a loan at a rate of 6.5% you can pay back out of your account ? When do you pay it back

Great video but I have a question ask! When it comes to Margin accounts in Robinhood, how does Robinhood charge their percentage monthly?! Is automatically through the Robinhood app or they bill you?!

[@TheRDGuarantee]

Automatically though the RH app.

[@Qpalzmcreehay]

If you wanted to pay off your margin sooner than the amount they charge you per month can you do that? And also if you can do that... How do you do that on the RH app?

[@SauceDon32]

good question. did u happen to figure out how that works?

[@sonny5982]

I’m trying to figure out that I hear you don’t have to pay margin interest if your using options with margin and certain strategies like selling puts because you don’t actually own the shares

[@SPYSpreads]

Yes that’s correct selling puts and not getting assigned you won’t pay interest which is the dream because technically you aren’t using the money yet since you haven’t gotten assigned on those shares.

[@leanderpruett4924]

Can you pay the margin back I steps or do you half to pay it all in full?? I can’t seem to fiqure that out. Thanks

This is my question as well

[@dopeskaterat95]

Do you start paying the margin back as soon as you take it out before buying stock? Or only when you specifically buy stock with it?

[@TheRDGuarantee]

So when you purchase the stock you purchase it on margin so it’s at the same time

[@dopeskaterat95]

[@travelcrib2k596]

I have few questions. Apologies, I am still learning about Margin investing but do not know enough. I have Robinhood Gold. Let's say I am borrowing 3000$ . First 1000$ is interest free and I get charged 8% on 2000$. 1) Do I pay 8% interest just on the borrowing amount or capital gains/profits as well. What if the Stock I bought for 3000$ becomes 20,000$ after few years. Do I still pay 8% on borrowed 2000$ or 20,000$ 2) Do I keep Paying margin interest every month/year until I sell my stocks/securities? 3) How do I pay off margins? Just keep uninvested/ unspent cash on account? 4) Does Margin investing make sense in this kind of long term investing situation? Thank you. Looking forward to your reply.

[@AmikaofMan]

#1, just on the amount borrowed. #2 Yes, you pay until you have no margin. If they are letting you borrow money, it will cost you each month. #3, let's say you have 4k worth of xyz stock, of which 2k is on margin. Say xyz companies stock goes from $10 a share to $20 a share. You have doubled your money but you still owe robinhood $2k. You can either put $2k more money into your margin account to settle the margin or sell enough shares to cover that $2k. Either way, you will always owe them the original amount back and continue paying margin rates, regardless of whether your stocks go up or down, until the margin is paid back. Over 6 months or 6 years, doesn't matter. #4, Margin is useful in good markets on good stocks and can be quite lucrative, but over the long term, most experts would probably tell you that it's not a good idea to use margin long term. Of course, unless you have sufficient capital elsewhere to cover any margin calls, and that becomes a point of contention as you are paying to borrow money when you have money. Either way, good luck out there.

[@chaoscommentary2179]

For a divided strategy is margin a good idea say the dividend pay the interest

[@TheRDGuarantee]

Probably a little risky. I'd need to do the math, but I'm pretty confident that you'll be paying more in margin interest than you'd gain in dividend payout.

[@AmikaofMan]

You have probably figured this out by now but NO. You cannot buy cryptos on Margin. So if you have 15k in Bitcoin and 2k in cash, you can only use the 2k +2k Margin. I hope you had some Bitcoin at that price 6 months ago and you still have it :D") cuz its worth alot more now

If you have buying power from margin but you are not buying any stock with margin money do you have to pay interest?

[@charlesjurden5871]

I have a question on Robinhood margin spending how does it work.

[@AmikaofMan]

If you have 2k cash in robinhood and set your account to margin, they will loan you another 2k to buy stocks with depending on the stock. You will pay a certain percentage each month to borrow that money. If you want to only use $200 of that 2k margin and have $2200 of stock, that would work also. You can use anything up to your account total. If you have 10k, they will let you borrow 10k on margin, if you so wish. Please remember that using margin can be very costly if the market does not go your way. Good luck out there

Unfortunately, Apple dropped about 1.5% the next day and I hadn't funded the rest of my account with the money to absorb that type of drop... so I got margin called 😐

It's all about the amount you borrow. If you're still borrowing $2000, your interest charge will stay the same.

[@jhubluejay]

Bummer. You can with M1.

[@AlfredoLey]

Can you pay the money back anytime?

[@TechWeLove]

The longer you hold the higher the risk of loss. If you get margin called, they typically want you to deposit that day, and they could force a sell the next day, or 2 days after. Basically you never want to get in a position where your losses are great enough that you need to put money back in, because it's typically a losing battle. Where you deposit more money, but the stocks borrowed go lower twice as much as normal, and you typically won't have collateral sitting in your other banks to cover it. Basically I got severely burned, because I didn't sell for a tiny loss, but it would have been a $3,000 loss for me, and my brain went into shock mode, and I let that $3,000 loss grow substantially bigger. If you trade big, you need to sell quicker when losing, or you lose big.

11% per day. What in the loan shark

[@TechWeLove]

11% annual rate I believe.

So the interest is daily ? For example $2000x7% is 140, will this be daily?
