It does add risk to my portfolio but I'm ok with the amount that I do. I also buy fairly stocks (relatively speaking of course) to buy using leverage. Mike I do quite a bit of leveraged investing.

Margin is too risky for me. I'll stick to using my own money. The thing about using other people's money to buy a house is... you're buying a house. It is insured and not going to disappear overnight (although as we all know, the value can plummet, too). Yea… no thanks. Margin is too risky for me. I’ll stick to using my own money.

And there are very few professionals...most should be doing this for companies and not themselves. Between the risk, the fees, etc....it's just not worthwhile. I agree—not for the amateur.

Margin rates are around 10% with is the expected aggregate return. If they were 3% like the rate the banks are getting from the feds, I might consider it. No margin for me.

If you could borrow at a low rate and invest in a relatively safe investment at a higher rate it would make sense, but I would lose more sleep that I could imagine by investing borrowed funds into stocks. There's just too much volatility. This sounds just plain scary to me.
