I certainly am not aware of this "check kiting" scheme that you have passionately espoused here. But how do you explain the fact that I could have just as easily gotten a cash advance from my credit card without the checks? Via an ATM machine with my pin number.

And I am free to use this cash any way I see fit...vacation, bill payment...burn it, give it away...stocks...

So what is the difference? I have read many articles about using credit card advances to purchase stocks. No one has ever suggested that it was illegal...only foolish. I think this matter would have been brought up at least once in the various publications that I have perused on the subject.

But I am no lawyer and no expert. Maybe I will be paying those loans off a little sooner than expected.
