Can you share a specific margin call back story?

The margin call back story often begins with an investor's over - confidence or miscalculation. They might think the market will keep rising. But then, market conditions change, say due to economic news or industry - specific issues.

For example, in a bear market, the chances of margin calls increase as asset values decline. There could also be external factors like economic news or geopolitical events that impact the investment and lead to margin calls.
