Instagram LogoOn this Financially Focused clip, banker Mark Anderson helps you to decide if you should borrow money to buy stocks. Often times investors may choose to borrow money to buy stocks. This act of using margin to make investments is called Leverage. The use of leverage allows you to access a larger amount of money to make investment decisions. By being able to take larger positions in your portfolio it may allow you to make an even larger dollar return on your investment. Equally with leverage may also lose a large proportion of your assets as you would need to repay the borrowed money used to buy the stocks. Because you continue to have interest payments on the borrowed funds to pay you should ensure that you are able to sustain the repayment of the loan interest for a protracted period as you may need to hold a stock position for a prolonged time while waiting for the stocks to recover into profitability. So in making the in the investment decision, it makes sense to borrow to buy stocks only if you have sufficient certainty that the stock will make you a return over and above the interest rate needed to pay on the loan. If you believe the stock might be too risky then maybe leverage might not be for you. So be wise in making those decisions and run the numbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMXZT5bm0g0&list=PLkdmM4FPvW0df-HmpoeXhlTqKWdIMwS4F&index=13 Get more expert interviews at www.youtube.com/FinanciallyFocused - share, subscribe, and like our Channel.
