💪 What Is Barbell Investing?
Barbell investing is what keeps you in the game.
I use the barbell approach in my own portfolio — and it’s simple:
I keep almost nothing in the middle from a risk standpoint.
On one side, I hold very stable assets.
On the other, I take high-volatility bets.
For me, that means making my upside in junior mining and early-stage commodities — sectors I know well and can study deeply.
That’s where I look to capture volatility.
But when profits come — should I be so lucky — I move those gains over to the stable side of the barbell.
That’s the point:
⚖️ Speculate aggressively, secure consistently.
It’s what lets you play offense and defense at the same time.
