"The only thing risky about investment is the investor himself."
If by investor you mean a long term buyer of stocks, then there is considerable risk involved in a bear market, imo.
Many factors are needed to minimise that risk, including sufficient diversification and hedging with long puts as an insurance against major falls.
Re-mortaging is raising your risk profile if you trade/invest for a living as I do. In an increasing interest rate environment you must be confident and experienced enough to be sure of generating sufficient income to service the debt.
Those of us who trade the US intraday constantly use leverage.
