1/ If you have been making money for 6 years I do not see why you need a loan you should be loaded by now.
If you are really that good, just put 1k with any broker and let your bankroll grow with your profits.
2/If you open an account with leverage it is exactly the sane as getting a loan mate.
With Ig markets you can get margin of just a few percent to trade big indices and you can get away with a 10% deposit . You just need 1K to trade the equivalent of 10k of shares and the borrowing rates will only be Libor +2% so around 3% much better than any personal rate.
No one will lend you any money unless they have big guarantees or collateral so that the best deal you can get.
No need to go uni if you want to be a trader: did warren buffet go to uni ? Do you want to load yourself with 20k + debt and get a ****ty job in the end.
Wiki
Buffett entered college in 1947 at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (1947–49). After two years he transferred to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where in 1950, at the age of nineteen, he finished his studies for a B.S. in Economics.[19] Buffett enrolled at Columbia Business School after learning that Benjamin Graham (author of "The Intelligent Investor" - one of his favorite books on investing) and David Dodd, two well-known securities analysts, taught there. He received a M.S. in Economics from Columbia Business School in 1951. Buffett also attended the New York Institute of Finance. In Buffett’s own words:
“ I’m 15 percent Fisher and 85 percent Benjamin Graham.[20]
The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety. That’s what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now they will still be the cornerstones of investing.[21]
He also had a "sh1tty" job.
Warren Buffett was employed from 1951–54 at Buffett-Falk & Co., Omaha as an Investment Salesman, from 1954–1956 at Graham-Newman Corp., New York as a Securities Analyst, from 1956–1969 at Buffett Partnership, Ltd., Omaha as a General Partner and from 1970 – Present at Berkshire Hathaway Inc, Omaha as its Chairman, CEO.
