    When you own "stocks on a margin," that means that you own:

    • 25% of a stock

    • 100% of a stock

    • 10% of a stock

    • 50% of a stock

    Correct Answer
    A. 10% of a stock
    Explanation
    When you own "stocks on a margin," it means that you own 10% of a stock. Owning stocks on margin refers to the practice of borrowing money from a broker to purchase stocks. The investor is required to put up a certain percentage of the stock's value, typically 10%, while the broker provides the remaining amount. This allows investors to control a larger amount of stock with a smaller initial investment. However, it also carries higher risk as any losses incurred are magnified.
