Wow, I'll have to consider changing. I'd probably borrow to invest at those rates, after running a model to figure out how much risk to take.

Though maybe LEAPS (and for indexes, futures) are a still cheaper way to get leverage.

Edit: goodness, the rates on some of those currencies is less than the dividend yield of those countries' indexes... If I don't expect New Zealand to sink into the sea, is it stupid not to borrow NZD and invest in the NZ top 50?

Crazy, huh? Capital cost are all time low.

IIRC, last time I looked at margin out of curiosity with my brokerage firm (schwabs/2014), I also remember to be around 10%.

I can’t help but think we are living in a unattainable economic environment...
