I would never borrow money to buy bonds.

Well, then, how about reversing it and shorting bonds to raise money to buy stocks?

I’m not a financial expert, by any means, but if you think the bond market will go bust soon, that would be the better position. Of course, you are taking a risk of the bond market not going bust and have to purchase them at a higher rate than intended.
