Agressive Growth

This is certainly not a recommended but also 42% of my portofolio is leveraged. When I say portfolio I'm talking about all my assets (TFSA & RSP). Go big or Stay Home like newcoin said.

imagine paying down debt while making big returns. I call it forced savings kind of like a mortgage, you pay it down while your property appreciates over time. And you don't need to worry about spending your available credit on non-essentials.

I wish you well. Maybe when you have time pull up a Yahoo  25 year chart for Ballard and Plug Power. We all talk about the amazing returns for these 2 stocks YFYI Ballard is currently 25% of it's all time high and Plug Power is around 3%

I get it! The market might experience major crashes along the road and you probably experienced many. But I'm obviously not going to keep that same position forever! Think about it savyinvestor333 you had 100% of your portfolio in xbc 3 months ago you would have doubled. At some point, I'll sell some of my holdings to pay off all my debts and rebalance and I'll significantly reduce my

I'd rather lose everything today and build my way up in the next 10 years, than losing everything in 10 years

You won't loose everything in either XBC or GRN, this is not a Bre-X.

There have been a lot of valuable posts here reflecting different perspectives. bmo 1212 had a great summary. I have never understood price targets for selling. The decision depends on the alternatives you have, and the future prospects for the company you are holding.  Aribtrary price targets are for traders. Selling half and holding what people call free shares is a cognitive illusion

[ZouZS3]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm just wondering If "Selling half and holding free shares is a cognitive illusion" and if "what matters is your total portfolio return, not whether you are ahead or net costless on 1 stock" why would you just "trim some GRN and buy a bit more XBC" and not sell it all for XBC?!

That is very true, with one caveat. While charts take stock splits into account, they don't incorporate the effects of secondary offerings. I'm sure if there were charts showing the market capitalization per share, which I've often thought there should be, the charts of Ballard and Plug would look very different. All companies would, actually and obviously.
