Yes I agree. Your strategy of banking half is fact what I have done. I told a bit of a fib. The $300k is half of my bank and represents the half that I have put in the bank in cash management!! the other half I am trading with......
It is mentally tough to be getting 5% cash management bank interest when you know you can get 8% and higher on say listed property trusts.
The risk is that there could be a market turn and you lose 10% of your capital whilst you were chasing the higher yield.......
I think there is a high chance of the market taking a breather after the reporting season, but personally dont see it tanking in any fashion. Its a Goldilocks market. When the FED raises interest rates for the first time is when I think the market will take a reasonable stumble.
