Individual Account
An Individual Account is an investment account that is opened for one person. You can open this type of account if you have reached the age of majority (usually age 18) in your state. The age of majority is when you are entitled to full legal rights as an adult.

Cash & Margin
A cash & margin account allows you to pay for part of a stock purchase and borrow the rest from SOGO; this is known as margin.Margin allows you to buy on a 2:1 basis, if your balance is at least $2000. If you have less that $2000 in your cash & margin account, you can still buy 1:1, just like a cash account.For example, if you deposit $2500 to your cash & margin account, you can buy up to $5000 worth of stock, $2500 of which you are borrowing from SOGO.Please note: Margin trading poses additional investment risks and is not suitable for all investors.
