Hey etftalk folks
I decided to open a brokrage account and start investing outside of TSP. I got a laddered promotion recently, and just moved away from the city, so my rent is cheaper than it was before. This opened up a doorway to be able to throw around already-taxed money into an account that I will be trading ETFs on.
I am going to use the same strategy as my TSP, but incorperate the use of shorts instead of a G-fund. I will also take advantage of leveraged ETFs.
I realize that it comes with greater risk, but this is the time to test my strategy with very high risk, I believe. I don't have a ton invested (10k), and I have years and years to recover if it doesnt go as planned.
Also, i will only be trading high volume ETFs... 800,000+
My first trade will be on Monday.
