So how many of you are currently using leverage? Where did you take it from and what kind of interest rates are you paying? Whether or not you are currently using leverage, do you think it's smart to use it in the current market? And finally, how do you pay back your leverage? (dividends, selling the shares, from your paycheck etc)
I currently don't have any leverage but I think the concept is great, especially at today's low rates. I think that currently the prices and volatility are so high that I'd rather not use leverage but I'm planning on using it when the situation presents itself. I can get it cheaply from my broker (IB) and then the dividends would be automatically paying back my leverage, so as long as my dividend income > interest expense then the loan would be paying itself back.
