Same question as the title.
I've been researching whether or not it's viable for students to take a loan and invest that money into the market to try and beat their interest rate by the end of their education. I'm researching it for a piece for a magazine, and so far my inquiries have turned up short; perhaps because of the legally dubious nature of the practice.
Yes, I know the immediate reaction is "No!" But I'm still curious if someone has to manage to pull off the massive gamble; doesn't have to be a student loan. There are a few success stories like Chris Sacca, who—as far as I can tell—just happened to be investing at the right time, i.e. during the Dot-com boom, only to lose it.
I'm curious if anyone has; if they were successful; would they advise someone else to do the same.
Or, maybe you can just elaborate on why you think investing a loan in the market is a horribly stupid idea—or maybe you'll be the first to tell me it's not.
