Should I allocate part of my portfolio to having a punt?
from Investing Compass
This episode is based on an email that we received from a listener who has a specific allocation in their portfolio to taking speculative bets. The rationale was that it helped control their behaviour by allowing them a designated allocation, while the rest of the portfolio remained untouched. We explore whether a strategy like this, called 'Mad Money', can work for investors.Interested in our investing course?
