I'm an incoming MS1 and still have not received student loans yet, and I was interested in investing into stocks (not much, <1k) just so I could get some experience while I have some time.
However, I do have some federal subsidized student loans from college (no interest accruing) and am taking out unsubsidized and PLUS federal loans for this academic year.
Regardless of whether you think investing is a good idea or not, I was wondering this is even allowed? I am making sure it is clear that I am not using federal loans to invest money, instead using my own personal funds, but are people allowed to invest in the market while they take out student loans?
