"Madmen! They're all madmen!"
"Boeing's market value is now 520 billion US Dollars!"
"Guys, it's already 540 billion US Dollars now, just within the past few minutes, Boeing's stock price officially broke through 600 US Dollars, we... had a margin call..."
With those words, everyone fell silent.
When others have a margin call, they get forcibly liquidated immediately, they might even get closed out ahead of time.
But their contracts aren't within the system; they count as off-exchange contracts because no one worries about the other running away.
But if a margin call occurs, they'll definitely need to add more collateral.
"How much additional collateral do we need?"
"From now on, for every dollar the stock price rises, we need to add 519 million US Dollars as collateral, otherwise after three trading days, we'll be forcibly closed out, redeeming the contract. As for the price difference, we'll need to cover that ourselves..."
