Wanted to ask opinions about credit card loans vs. Margin loans...

I have never taken out Margins with my brokerage accounts...

But what I did do was use credit card checks...at 3.5%...I bought oil, bank, health stocks and luckily they are UP...(compared to my Internut stocks) and I would sell immediately before I took any losses to my principle.

I have to pay at least $600/month minimum balance each month to borrow these hefty sums...but only around $8.00 in Finance charges.

I was wondering what people think of this compared to margin loans.

Mary

re going without sleep
I have a better idea: close the market during the day so we can have a life and ONLY open it from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.!
