To be clear, when I said 'risk' I was talking specifically about trading NUGT/DUST, not just any-old investing.
I'd call anyone who traded 100% of their money (all life's savings) on such a volatile pair, good system or not, crazy! And I would hope you would too. I thought that extreme of a case was safe to heard as a joke. I almost always move 100% of my TSP on buy/sells, but its not going to change by double digits in a day or so, regardless of the source of buy/sells.
I didn't speak on one trading their life's savings. I don't concern myself, save you, with other's allocations.
Guess you were wrong about the joke. Maybe you didn't include recent and past interactions in your calculations.
Consider this. A system that works, works faster with more volatility. A system that doesn't, fails faster with more volatility. This might explain your fear of volatility? I don't know. Just saying.
