That gives you much much more leverage BUT completely no risk if the stock market should plummet into a bear market by using a strategy we call a Short Bull Ratio Spread. Please see full details at .

There is no way however to judge the time formula. Then when it comes to a 20% drop.... most professionals get killed in them also. A 20% drop means you have to earn 40% to break even. Make this a small part of your "asset allocation", add a "stop loss" and you may or may not do well.

First of all, stock market and recessions are separate. Recessions means that the GDP has shrunk for 2 straight quarters. Stock market crashes come for many different reasons, that if people knew they could make millions :) Basically at some point it gets out of hand(like China) and it crashes. My opinion about the matter is twofold: 1. you don't need leverage. Leverage is for those who know what they're doing. What you need is capital protection. 2. We've had a 4-5 year bull run and it might look like it's run out of steam. The next month is key and even then it won't last forever.

The correction we had in late feburary has not gone to recession. If you risk it no more than 5% of your TOTAL portfolio should be in this high risk venture. Bad move stevie.
