I get what you're saying. Interesting concept. I am seeing a positive day almost every day. Of course, the market is bullish right now. But still...I can see a case for taking on leverage since I'm using a basket of stocks.
%% 3 stocks is super focused; great if all goes right.[WHEN i was trading single stocks , i figured it could gap against me 50%,even though it never did] 7 is a good number. Sounds like you are right ,3 is too focused \even more so, if close to same sector. 50% gap against you may or may not happen; --20%\30% gaps are very common in single stocks........................................................................................................Using cash is in your favor
There's a book that deals with what sef88 was talking about. If I can remember the name of it...I'll post a link to it on Amazon. wrbtrader
