Blood suckers all of them. If your are smart enough to earn or otherwise
accumulate the dollars, why would you let a commissioned self serving leech spend
your money.

Would it be a wise move to take out a loan on your home to buy stocks?

Hell no!

Would it be a wise move to sell stocks to pay off a loan on your home?

Possibly. Depends on the details of your situation.

What details would be necessary? Perhaps a better idea of the details to
consider would be of big help.


Other than the cursory opinion I offered, I am in no position to advise
anybody on their personal finances.

If you are serious, you should talk to a certified financial planner.

Me? I avoid them at all "costs".

The trouble with the certified financial planners all have something they
want to sell.

What I'm looking for are the criteria by which such a decision should be
made, or even ideas.

Wouldn't a home equity loan be the same as a mortgage? (In all but name.)

Exactly. And I'm only getting 30% of it back (on a good day).

No. The return on stocks is not enough greater overall than the interest
rates at the present time. If you are going to risk capitol, at least get a
good rate of return.
