All that matters is that your portfolio grows faster than the interest rate.

    That's what success looks like. But, you don't know if you're going to be successful when you take out the loan. If there's a market downturn you're on the hook for the loan and your portfolio has crashed. If you sold a few stocks instead of taking out a loan, you're insulated from that possibility.
