Investment Plan

Every Investment Plan should discuss the use of leverage.  Personally, I won’t use 100% leverage or 200% leverage.  It doubles risk or triples risk if leveraged by 200%.  The investor can make twice as much on the way up and lose twice as much on the way down.  It messes with Standard Deviation too.  I don’t deem it suitable for anyone’s portfolio.  Before I invest, I check for the use of leverage.  Notional investing also increases risk unnecessarily.  Investors who use a financial advisor would be wise to have a discussion surrounding the use of leverage including the use of margin in their accounts.  Leveraged investments should come with a warning label stating they can be hazardous to your financial health.  The whole idea behind investing is to achieve a greater return than the S&P 500 by taking less risk than the S&P 500.
