I would like to be greedy and have the best of both worlds— Afterall, why settle for one when you can have both.

Sticking with my main job and getting a stable income is what gives me stability to continue to have the appetite to tap on high volatile but high return opportunities. By having a steady income, i know I will always have cash flows in that will help with my retirement planning. However, the high volatility and high return opportunities are the ones that will be the catalysts that propel my portfolio.

In investing, risk appetite and risk management would be key. As I do consider myself young now with sufficient runway, I can afford to have a greater risk appetite and allocate a significant portion of my money into riskier assets with the aim of getting greater returns. However, in 20years, I would shift gear to predominantly high dividend stocks as my aim now is to have continuous funds for my retirement and there is less need to generate greater wealth at higher risk.
