This is very very different than having conviction. There is always a chance any investment could drop 90% or more or go to zero. If you invest every dime you have at worse you end up with nothing. Buy on margin and you can easily be in debt and never get out. There is no such thing as conviction meaning 100% chance of success.

I personally have never had the risk tolerance to buy on margin. I've never taken a loan outside of a home purchase.
