Leverage and Greed - Double edged sword

One has $200K investing capital to invest, but not enough to invest on an asset of $1M. One becomes greedy and want a multi-bagger ROC (return on $200K capital). This can only be achieved by taking excessive risks, through leveraging (i.e. borrowing several times of one's initial investing capital of $200K).

If one is overly greedy and is leveraged more than 10, 20 or 30 times their annual earning, (30 times is maddness) and thinking one has control over future earning like a man who has plenty of drinks and still thinking that he has control over his driving.
