2 Billion Won Gone in an Instant... "The Moment You Touch Margin Trading, Everything Collapses"

With the domestic stock market recently experiencing significant volatility, the story of one individual investor has become a hot topic. What is the story about?

A netizen, identified as A, who described himself as a young man from the countryside, reached his dream target asset of 1.5 to 2 billion won in May.

He had high hopes of buying a new apartment in the provinces and living a relaxed life on the dividends from the remaining money.

But perhaps human greed knows no bounds.

At some point, A began to engage in margin trading, which involves borrowing money from a brokerage firm to invest.

Initially, the profits were low, but as the scale of his investments grew, so did his debt. He eventually confessed that he lost most of his assets after two or three failed investments.

In the end, he revealed that he decided to leave the market after selling off all his assets, including what he had set aside for his retirement, to pay off his debts, leaving him with only about 200 million won.

A warned of the dangers of margin trading, stating, "The moment you touch margin trading, your principles and rationality collapse."

He added, "I thought I would be happy if I just had money, but without people to share my heart with and the warmth of life, even a large sum of money is ultimately just a hollow number," and urged others not to lose sight of precious people and the value of life while chasing money.
