^ This removes one risk while adding another - You could end up in a massive pile of 10x debt rather than simply blowing your account.
Ask yourself, does it feel riskier today to venture 10KUSD2014, than 1 KUSD2014 last year?
yes*10^2
In that case it is not for you.
You're wrong sir.
No comprende. If you thought it was too risky last year, and think it is a hundred times riskier now, it is not rational to invest 10X now compared to what you considered, but did not invest last year.
If you think the risk has fallen by a multiplier of ten, you could do it. If you consider it low risk, you can leverage. It's not like you die or will be condemned to poverty for the rest of your life if you loose, even if you get negative equity. (Then there is always bankruptcy).
