Leverage is a double edged sword. If you know how to use it, it can win you wars, and if you don’t it can hurt you.
While using leverage, the key remains to control greed. A definite level ( as you mention 30-40% ) of leverage has to be fixed beyond which no matter what, you will not go. If there is this kind of discipline, then maybe there can be a case of leverage. Other aspect is that if markets turns in the direction opposite to your anticipation, you will have to take quick decisions.
I do not have any experience of leverage except in my early days when for a brief spell I used to dabble in F&O, but was lucky enough to exit with minimal scars. Those days luckily I did not have enough money to lose. I have heard some friends use leverage on their own holdings to buy other holdings, but this thing has never appealed to me.
