Any kind of investments by nature are risky as you may lose some or all your invested capital if you get it wrong. Even if you initially get it right, and somehow by over-staying in the market; it may turn wrong.
The only safe and risk-free investment in the market is zero cost investment aka Pillow Stocks Strategy , where you can sleep peacefully at night regardless of market condition as your capital is not at risk.
The Pillow Stocks Strategy
With active investing, riding on the number of profitable trades on the same stock over and over again, and then slowly accumulate enough realized profits to eventually own a certain number of shares of your desired stocks at a zero cost in terms of cash flow, and then let them run in the market as passive income from dividends or if necessary as future draw down by selling some.
The toughest part is executing the strategy. Get ready, may be the bulls are back.
