No idea - but I have really discarded using any kind of leverage in my investing. I don't like the risk and volatility associated with all that. It's also a function of having a portfolio where a normal, modest annual gain will produce an absolute amount of cash that more than meets my expectations at this point. IOW, I'll take a steady 20-30% annualized with my current risk profile over maybe making or losing 50-100% with something more leveraged. Keeps me out of trouble most days.
