re: Student loans

quote:

---

My mom (no pics) wanted me to max out my Stafford and Perkins loans (deferred interst) and put that money in the stock market. After college when the interest started accruing I could cash out and pay them off or just make the payments as they came.

i was very tempted to do this several times but apparently its illegal to use student loans for this purpose

obviously it'd be hard to track, but i was too puss to chance it

it makes it worse that i may or may not have had some inside info on a smaller company's stock that has since gone up 6 times in value (split twice)
