A margin call means your broker is asking you to repay the money it lent you to buy stocks - and if you don't, it could mean big losses for your portfolio
-
A margin call usually happens when the securities you borrowed money from a
broker to buy drop drastically in value, and you must furnish more funds.

Frans Johansson - The Click Moment (video)
Frans Johansson: The Click Moment - Business Insider: "Most people would agree that the simple formula for success = hard work + luck. But Frans Johansson, in his new book, "The Click Moment: Seizing Opportunity In An Unpredictable World," argues that luck is an incredibly powerful part of the equation, and it's up to us to create that luck — or "click moments." . . . Google and Facebook are . . . . ."luckier" than they'd like to admit. They've become dominant market players because their founders knew the value of placing lots of bets, and hoping one of them would pay off."
