What Happens If You Are Almost 100% Vested? - Part 3

To update all readers, the plan has already been carried out.

I continued to have friends, whom advised me against carrying out the plan, as well as some others whom have carried out their own leverage plan.

Just to emphasize I will not be going ahead with margin or leverage lending. I prefer to borrow a fixed sum with a discipline way of repayment. This will allow me to plan better.

Basically I did a fund transfer with Standard Chartered Promotion of 1% of processing fee for 6 months without any other cost.

And this is the plan of repayment:

1. I have "X" amount for investment.

2. I will place "X" into Singapore Saving Bonds.

3. I will borrow through Fund Transfer 1 for the amount of "X+Y" for 6 months.

4. The portion "Y" will be repaid via monthly injection of cash amount "A" over 6 months.

5. In the event the market recovers in 6 months, I will take out "X" from Singapore Saving Bonds and repaid the outstanding amount of Fund Transfer 1. The amount of Fund Transfer 1 should remains with either "X" amount or lesser.

6. In the event the market did not recover in 6 months, I will borrow the amount "Z" through another bank's Fund Transfer for another 6 months and use it to repaid the outstanding amount in the Fund Transfer 1.

The advantage of the plan is: 

(1) I have the ability to invest more at this moment and 

(2) to own the shares that I invest in currently, and 

(3) this investment will have a longer time to recover back, and

(4) I can continue to roll this debt forward at a lower amount as I repaid it consistently, and

(5) the interest earned from the Singapore Saving Bond can offset the processing fee over time. 

However, the risks of this plan is that: 
(1) you must be continually be employed during this period, and
(2) any non-payment will result in being charge 24% of late interest on the outstanding (I think so), and
(3) rolling over of debt will result in higher total processing fee, and
(4) I must be able to select the correct company.

Next up, I may talk about some strategy or go into each company that I am currently vested in.
