Do you also have a home loan? Any other debts? Just curious on how that affects your use of margin.

The amount of margin I could use if I wanted to is simply staggering (to me.) It amazes me that with a click of a button these days I regularly take out a loan in amounts that exceed the value of my first house.

Sure you can beat that 7% margin rate. But do you want to be leveraged in a down market?
