Stop taking out loans when you have no clue how to leverage debt.

leveraging debt is easy. take out any loan at any annual interest rate up to 30%, and buy bitcoin.
That pic is kinda depressing me
A victor trap i set weeks ago just went off, squashing the first rodent of 2017. I dont think its worth ebaying the poor fella.

I'm a newfag at finance
say I take out a loan with a decent rate
put it all in bitcoin and bitcoin rises past my rate
do all gainz made after my interest is met equal profit? how do taxes factor in on this? How do I take a loan with interest and invest it in something to beat the interest AND taxes?
>>1699444
by beating taxes I mean make it worth my money to take out the loan. If I am paying interest and taxes at the end of the year, is it even worth the risk of a crash?
also, does a trump presidency help loans in either the interest rates or tax rates?
Seems smart to take fixed. Not variable rates. I don't trust the financial sector enough to give them wriggle room to screw me more than they already can.

Yes. Rates will keep going up. The dollar index will hit 150.

real estate will crash
> Student loans: 9%
> Gov student loans: 6.8%
> New car loans: 2.24% (Bankrate src)
> New boat loan: 4.39%
> Home loan: 4.12%
How is this a thing?

SIFIs borrow at 0.5% from the FED. What do?
Keep rates at near zero for a decade so everyone can mount up on debt. Start monetary tightening so everyone now saddled with debt gets squeezed for all their worth.
When will the west outlaw usury?
>>1699289
Don't worry. It will crash. Just know how to plan for it after the crash

my student loans are 3.75% currently in the past they went from 2% to 11% tho. now they are down and rumors are they gonna decrease them further..

The American government despises its people. That's why.
>>1699289
maybe you should have got a fixed rate mortgage?
how in the FUCK are you paying 9% on your mortgage when everyone else is paying %4?
>>1700294
To pay for defaults, cost of making loans, employees et cetera.
