GameStop Investors Who Bet Big—and Lost Big

"Salvador Vergara was so enthusiastic about GameStop Corp. GME 2.54% in late January that he took out a $20,000 personal loan and used it to purchase shares. Then the buzzy stock plunged nearly 80%...He didn’t want to touch his index-fund investments, so instead he got a personal loan with an 11.19% interest rate from a credit union and used it to fund most of his GameStop purchase. He bought shares at $234 each."

Isn’t the rule to only invest up to 10% of your worth?

That is why timing is important. Tons of people did the same when it was $25-40. share and likely made a killing. He should've known better than to buy in @$200+....
