there are a few flaws in your reasoning: i know my portfolio will always keep going up, no, it won't.  you'll have periods of losses.  you are starting your investing in a bull market.  do not be fooled into believing that your successes now will continue indefinitely. the more risky your portfolio, the bigger the losses.  the upside of a risky portfolio is that the gains generally outweigh the losses, but there will be periods of losses. i honestly don't believe that it's possible for me to end up losing in the long term, regardless of risk. i think you vastly underestimate the risk of your strategy and/or the consequences of that risk.   there's nothing wrong with investing in risky assets, since over time you'll get higher-than-average returns, but unless you diversify you are exposing yourself to catastrophic losses as well.
