Of course. It’s not an apple to Apple comparison, it’s just to point out those returns are possible. Also, would you rather have invested your salary from 2003 to 2020 not leveraged or always leveraged x3, bust in 2008, and then cash out today? Probably the latter. And that’s pretty consistent. After a recession, you usually have a decade of growth. So not exactly hard to do either.
- leetcrew 7y agosure, if I get to assume I'll have a steady salary indefinitely, I would prefer the 3x leverage. in reality, the stability of your job is correlated with the market. if I chose the leverage scenario, my portfolio would be valueless at the exact moment that I was most likely to lose my cashflow. without leverage, I would have taken a big hit, but still have had some money to draw on.
