The bank won't stop you. I'm talking the reality aspect of borrowing on a line of credit (or against the house you live in) AND investing it into shares. The bottom line is you need a return on shares consistently over the long term that betters the going lending rate (currently around 5% or 6% floating). Look at it from the bank's perspective. Why would they lend at 5 or 6% when they could buy shares directly and earn say 10 or 20% a year? It's because it's far easier to extract the $ from the working person while having the ability to own the house in a foreclosure.
