A few years ago, one of my credit cards offered 0% (+$75 fee) for 9 months - couldn't beat that, so I borrowed $50,000 at 0%, threw it into stocks, and nearly doubled it. Now this same CC is offering 4.9%. I'm thinking about it, considerably less than margin loan.

IMO that's a fool's game.

It is if you are not in the position to cover the loan 10x over. I agree. My situation was different from most.
