Well, you can make a loan with your stock broaker . I just buy MSFT every June , generally through the Leap and exercise at expiration, My order is generally market order , and do not care about the price , just the most far out leap with the longest time frame. Buy and hold , never sell a single share of MSFT.

Off topic ... Living on borrowed money ... I've done this for a decade. A normal margin account will allow clients to borrow against the value of their shares. As the shares appreciate, the borrowing ability of the client grows. One only needs to select stocks which grow faster than their interest and living expenses. Eventually, the debt must be repaid. Until then, the tax man can go to hell! It's like getting an interest free loan from the government, and it's legal. Cheerios, PW.

I don't know of anyone doing that, but I suppose there are people doing that. I see ads for those writing these types of loans in the IBD and sometimes even in the local business section of the Arizona Republic.
