There is nothing wrong in buying stocks on margin. What the investor must recognize is that there is more risk involved. Aside from the purchased stocks going down, the added burden is having to pay interest on the borrowed funds or the "margin". The other danger is that an investor using margin can buy more stocks. Over speculation can either vastly be beneficial or be a personal income disaster.
