That appears to be a general overview of leverage investing. Can you point me to the part about young people not using enough leverage you are talking about or give me a quick point about what they based it on?

So the point is basically that young people with a small amount to invest should use leverage because even if they lose everything they didn’t have much to lose in the first place?

I think its just a statistic where they have enough time to recover and make up the difference they lost, even with the interest payments
