RE:dont use margin re scotia margin. call my paper is there
No need to use bank/broker margin, if you want margin without calls just get a line of credit backed by your assets and use the line of credit as your margin. This will not work if you are already using borrowed funds for the primary stock purchase. But if you are borrowing to purchase, then you really should not be using margin anyway. When I first started I use the line of credit, but now I always have a percentage of cash in my brokerage account and never go all in on anything, so do not need to borrow or margin, much safer.
