I'm curious to hear people's viewpoints as it relates to the pros/cons of each leverage strategy below. Pros/Cons 1. Investing on Margin via an index fund - 2x max leverage allowed (lowest interest rates today are 1.875%-3%...these rates could rise in the near future). 2. Investing using a pledged line of credit - currently based on Charles Schwab and you can take up to 60% at a rate around 3-4%. 3. Investing in a leverage ETF - 3x max leverage (higher expense ratio, around .85 or so). 4. HELOC home equity investing From my perspective, Option 2 is a bit different than 1 and 3 in that it's a true loan and you have to pay it back. With 1 it's more streamlined and less like a true loan but you do pay the interest. Option 3 is a lot like option 1 except you avoid the interest payments. Option 4 I have no opinion about. Options 1 and 3 seem to deserve the most comparisons.
