Just For Thinking ....
Once we fully understand the basic concept of Risks vs. Returns and develop common sense in finance and investment matters we will not become victim of greed.
1. Low risk and low return
When the risk is low, the return is expected to be low.
2. Low risk and high return
Red alert! This is highly not possible in a free market environment. Don't ever let the Greed overcome you and become foolish. A fool and his money will soon part.
3. High risk and low return
Warning! Many of those financial instruments that are highly leverages are actually high risk and low return when you are lacking in knowledge and skills in executing these financial instruments by yourself and depending on your financial advisers to complete them for you. Your financial advisers will be eating into most of your returns and leaving you with high risk and low return after expenses and management fees.
4. High risk and high return
Be extra careful! Not necessary true so you have to be extra careful and seriously do your homework. You must have the financial strength, knowledge and skills to earn this type of high returns. Average investors are advised to stay away as these financial instruments may not be your cup of tea.
Conclusion
Get educated. Trained yourself to be more knowledgeable and skillful. Build up your financial strength so that one day high risk and high return may become your cup of tea.

Good advice. Get financially educated by going through the books in the library. There are many of them. I started with " Rich Dad and Poor Dad" and many other did too. The best is to turn something high risk high return one day into an investment that is low risk and high return forever.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHigh risk, high returns. Low risk, low returns. Worse case high risk, low returns. Best case low risk, high returns.
The best case is actually possible only to someone who has been used to all weather fishing. For the rest of us, there is no such thing as LOW RISK, HIGH RETURN. If you can find it, then very quickly the whole market will pile into it. Then it becomes HIGH RISK, LOW RETURN. NO? YES?
In a free market and near 24x7 real-time news flow, it is extremely difficult for retail investors to find Low Risk, High Return.
ReplyDeleteYes! That's the point. Full stop.
