Besides the finer points of trading on margin, I would add that there is no guarantee the market will jump quite the way it has done historically.

The down market appears to be long and shallow, and although I'm not saying that this is what will happen, it's also possible that so too will be the recovery towards a bull market.

And if it turns out to be long and shallow, it is very possible that it may not be enough to off-set the interest you pay to make this worthwhile.
