Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful(@kevinolearytv):The biggest killer of investment value is too much leverage. You can have a great company or real estate project, but when you’re overleveraged and the market turns against you, your equity can get wiped out fast. Leverage is not always your friend. You have to use it sometimes, but once you’re taking on more than 30% leverage, you should understand exactly how much risk you’re putting on the table.
