Should I allocate part of my portfolio to having a punt?

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? Find it here.To submit any questions or feedback, please email [email protected] or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.  Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.
