Well the money was from a flip a while ago and someone told be that
this stock is going to go up and it went down because of panic and it
was a sure thing. now this margin deal, and the computer just let me
put in 3000 and click buy but I do not have 160,000 dollars. how is
this possible I am confused. how was I able to buy so much if I do not
have 160,000
