While I agree that the best investing is boring - long-term and consistent I have recently discussed the benefits of my 'Home Run Economics' strategy. I believe it is important to allocate a little play money to high-risk, high-return' investments. By doing this you can protect your core portfolio ( your retirement funds) from your reactive betting in the future. If you already have your pool of dollars moving in and out of exciting investments which fulfill your need for Investicacy (the thrill of investing) you are much less likely to depart from your core plan. We are designed to move fast and adapt to an ever-changing environment so allow that part of your brain to be satisfied. Nice post.
