I broke the rule and I got a credit-card.. which I try to cover with 10 times the credit int he account..He still loks at me as "know-nothing of the world" (he is absolutely right I have never been in a fascist concentration camp, he has)
So I count as if all the business go south .. then I know how much I lost at the most... So 10k is the msot I am ready to lose... so I would only take the equivalent on shares. It would be 2000 euros... a third of a share... I can push up to half a share.

A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
The greater the equity share, the more the security of the debt share, all things equal ... of course, for different countries, all else is not equal, and if a feed-in tariff is in place, the downside risk of being unable to service the capital stake is much less.
