Reference: Ref. Reference information: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marginal-analysis.asp Limitations of Marginal Analysis Marginal analysis derives from the economic theory of marginalism—the idea that human actors make decisions on the margin. Underlying marginalism is another concept: the subjective theory of value. Marginalism is sometimes criticized as one of the "fuzzier" areas of economics, as much of what is proposed is hard to accurately measure, such as an individual consumers' marginal utility. In both your cases, my impression is that it was an initial reaction, but there was always a "but" (reservation); invariably, further evaluation would be needed to arrive at a course of action. A. ***On the margin*** I felt good about it, yes, because I think you have in YYY, again, a credible arguably third party participant putting multiple billions of dollars into the company, which is making a pretty big bet. It was a vote of confidence." A. When a transaction gets announced, often times investors will look to research analyst commentary on that transaction. It is often helpful to have at least one analyst who is respected by Wall Street cover both companies because they'll have insights into both companies and arguably are in a better position to determine whether or not that combination makes sense and is compelling. So ***on the margin*** it would have been nice. We were making the observation it would have been nice to have analysts in common."

The government expanded the scope of permissible capital market activities, such as allowing finance companies to fund equity purchases on the margin. People are borrowing on credit cards to gamble on the margin, so that they quickly climb into serious debt to try to recoup losses. If you buy stocks on the margin, you borrow money in order to buy them, in the hope that they will increase in value before you have to pay the loan back. |
