You'd be gambling with your home equity. With recession looking more and more likely, I wouldn't do it. FWIW, my meager portfolio came from savings that are earning nada. I don't have immediate need for the funds so I'm prepared to ride it out. Keeping 3 years living expenses in reserve.
Agreed. Volatile market. IF ANYTHING, I'd increase value of my home with the equity e.g. new kitchen, swimming pool, etc. and something you'll enjoy but not put into a volatile market now.
