I actually closed out the investment this week. It sucks that I have to walk away with a $4000 loss, but it's been a good learning experience. At the time when I started the leverage fund, I knew absolutely nothing about investing. I think the strategy definitely could have worked if the segregated funds weren't so terrible. During the two years, my own investment picks greatly outperformed the fund that was suggested, which was annoying. When the fund was down to 88k it was stressful, but I felt it would be unwise to exit prematurely. A part of me wanted to keep the fund longer to see if I could make some profit, but given the performance of these segregated funds I just felt like it was better to quit now.
