When I was 20 years old, I was playing around with leverage (up to 200X) and subsequently blew up my brokerage account. Luckily, I didn’t lose that much money because I was just a student at the time. But back then, it felt like a huge blow because I had grown that account from $500 to $5,000 and then watched it go straight to zero.

Following that experience, I swore to never use leverage ever again.

This was until 5 years ago when I began to study and invest in leveraged ETFs.

Although I’ve previously written a complete guide on leveraged ETFs, today, I want to explore the concept of optimal leverage and discuss why leverage might be a suitable strategy for long-term stock investing.

Be sure to check out the comprehensive guide I recently published on leveraged ETFs:
