Swing For The Fences

Categories: Investing

"Going for broke," where you obviously don't want to go broke, but if you fail, well...you do go broke.

When you swing for the fences, it means that you're investing a huge portion of your portfolio or your assets or your portfolio into a single, highly risky growth bet. If it works out, you win big; if it fails, you drive for Uber.

Hero. Goat. Take your pick.
