Low rates were definitely one of the things that made me interested in margin borrowing. Normally TD gives something like 8% as a margin rate. I asked for special treatment, and they gave me 1.5%! How could I pass that up. It even occurred to me that at that rate I should take a margin loan to pay for a house rather than a 30 year mortgage at 4%. I guess there's no guarantee that rates will stay that low for 30 years, but if the borrowing cost is around 1.5% you can probably pay the loan off faster than 30 year period. Anyway, something to think about.
