margin is the only way to leverage and increase the volume. To me it's like a drug -- it may feel safe if only used once a while, but I know that's totally illusion.
I only use it when I run out of cash and I am 90% sure about the trade. And I exit the trade quickly.
I never hold on to a stock for long time. My only long term holding is gold & silver, small percentage though.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
