I would say that this is a personal question.
If there was a market pullback how would you handle it?
I won't tell you what you should do. I will only comment that I would never use margin.
Well I'm long and prepared to wait 10-15 years, so short-term pull-backs don't bother me so much. However, it the bank were to pull a 007 on me with a margin call at that moment, forcing a sale of my initial capital, well that would be dissappointing.
I also think to use the 100% margin avaialble would indeed be risky, but I could see it being useful as a trading instrument, while leaving core shares untouched.
