What does the term
margin
mean in finance. Looking up the word
margin
in a dictionary gives:
a sum deposited with a broker to cover the risk of loss on a transaction or account
the profit made on a product or service
But what does the term
a profit margin
mean then? (The first definition doesn't fit in this context. The second one turns '
a profit margin
' into '
a profit profit
')
