I'm sort of confused. If you have cash, why pay margin interest instead of using it in the first place? Keeping the cash in a bank account and paying interest for the margin loan seems strictly worse.

Cash from your checking account you'd use for your bills, cash in the form of a loan you get spur of the moment

Cash doesn't mean just sitting on something in a savings account.

I guess if the question is "put literally 100% of your liquid worth into the stock market and then 10% margin on top of that" yeah that's not necessarily smart but I'd say the problem there is you putting 100% of your liquid worth into the stock market to begin with as much as danger of your 10% margin call eating you alive. You should always have some sort of emergency line to tap that isn't a stock in case you're in a position where you don't want to sell anything when you need some money
