Well for the margin account, it's a non-registered account so you pay income taxes on it but the interest can be deducted from your investment income if I'm correct. You could do like me and take a line of credit to invest in a TFSA account. Interest can't be deducted from your income but you don't pay taxes on your income neither so it's better like this AND it increase the amount you have in your TFSA which is good on the long term. You should check your line of credit because 6% is a bit high, mine is at 3,7% at RBC, it's the regular one for university's student. At 6% it's more risky, even margin account are usually lower. RBC start at 4,1% and National Bank start at 3,95% and go lower the more you borrow. But line of credit of credit do not have requirements so you can withstand a volatile market unlike margin account. I know a lot of people forbid using margin, but interest are so low and we can find high yield in safe stock unlike at the time thoses comments were made. Even Warren Buffet now uses it, just look at Berkshire. About every companies use leverage. As long as you don't do something and you are not too leveraged, then it should go well in the long term. Don't be afraid to call your bank, says that you got better offers somewhere else (just like with telco) because you may get a better deal, save money, get a higher yield on your margin investments, get financial freedom faster. And Dsark, could you give me more details about your line of credit for high yielding stocks? Because the no margin call is really interesting and allows you to leverage a lot and withstand a drop in share price just like now. I know about home equity line of credit but you need a home and that your mortgage is least than 60% of the value of your home.


I'm sorry, I just meant an unsecured line of credit (home line of credit is secured).  3 years ago I started opening unsecured lines of credit at various institutions for this situation we are in now.  If you want to leverage the leverage, go get yourself an unsecured like of credit, then use margin on it.  That's called borrowing on the borrowing lol.
