As far as I’m aware, the big dogs have used leverage or taken significant risks to quickly grow small portfolios into large ones. From there, they play it safe and seek a modest return.
In terms of the current market, there are some potential opportunities with the current volatility to see some big swings up or down. What is your guys opinion on allocating Mabye 10% of a portfolio to play around with short term swing trading and (cash secured) leverage to take advantage of the volatility.
For example many stocks have hit 52 week lows and seem to be finding support. If one was to look at fundamentally strong, arguably undervalued companies, they could be prime for an upswing. Now of course you can’t time the market but perhaps having this 10% of your portfolio to play with can take
Your mind off your full portfolio and give hope to offset losses (even if it doesn’t – hence the 10% or less allocation)
Just some thoughts I’m having right now
