RSP & Investment Leverage Loan

Investment Loans and RRSP Loans are also known as Leverage Loans.

This investment strategy is based on Sir John Templeton's (November 29, 1912 - July 8, 2008) personal experience in 1939 where he borrowed $10,000 from his former boss with the purpose of investing to make a profit. He purchased $100 dollars worth of every stock on the stock exchanges that were valued less than a dollar. Within the year, he managed to repay his former boss, and he and his partner had more than $30,000 remaining(1).
