    >> Yeah I just dont get this. Why not take out 200k and invest in some stocks? They "always go up" too.
    Good question. It's a similar concept.
    If you can earn more from money than it costs you then it's a good idea. Same as stoozing - normally done with something low risk like a savings account but there's a possibility of greater returns or a loss by investing.

    Too risky for me but I know people who have done very well at it (and not so well).
    It's all about how much risk you are willing to take.
