<prompt> Human: Sorry if this is not the proper sub-reddit, but I was just wondering... is it possible to take out a personal loan in order to trade stocks? Assistant: Yes, but why would you want to gamble on individual stocks? Its a bad idea and if you want to do this, head on over to rinvesting.Human: If you understand how to read charts then putting all your eggs or a large portion in one basket is a great method to achieve maximum risk:reward. Knowing what you are doing eliminates the risk part of the equation for the most part so really I wouldnt be risking much.Edit: Its not gambling when you know how the market works.  <response>: Thats probably one of the most misguided statements Ive ever read in rpersonalfinance. rinvesting is definitely the place for you if you actually believe what you just wrote.rRagingBullish:If you understand how to read charts then putting all your eggs or a large portion in one basket is a great method to achieve maximum risk:reward.
