Know your limits
15 August 2008
Trading in stock markets can require a number of fairly large investments if you are after quick returns. Borrowing to invest is very common, with E*Trade Australia even offering services to help its users to borrow the money they need. It is important when buying shares to know your limits, however, as you if you borrow too much, almost any loss could bring you financial hardship.
Overextending yourself when investing in shares can lead to many problems when trading in stock markets. If the money you have invested is not your own, you run the risk of needing to default on loans and you could possibly lose major assets you own, such as your home. Choosing a stock broker who can give you advice on a sensible amount to invest can be a good way of stopping yourself from getting carried away when trading on stock markets.
