    Hi all,

    I have no residential or commercial property to use as security but I would like to establish a line of credit (or similar).

    To trade successfully in the market I need a facility with the following features:

    * The freedom to use the funds however I wish
    * Interest only
    * Low/no monthly fees
    * As mentioned above, I can't secure it with property!

    Please help! Any advice would be gold!

    Grar Industries.

    Do you already have a some shares? You can get margin loan against those?

    Sorry - I should've given a bit more detail ...

    I already have a margin loan but I'm not able to write put options (have since found out that Commsec allows this - thanks crc_error!)

    The ReadyCredit product looks good. However, I'd have to refinance soon after the 6 month introductory period is over - that interest rate is high!

    Thanks for the replies. Appreciate it.
