No, it doesn't. The relevant comparison is to the distribution of returns on equities, not some rate I am unable to use. Now go away.

You wrote "My broker's margin rates are 3%, which seems too low to not take advantage of". This seems to mean to me at least that the low rates are predicating your interest in using margin.

I pointed out you can get better rates with another broker... 3% is not unusually low, especially considering where rates in general are now. You'd also probably be better off switching brokers if using margin was of significant import to you.
