High-risk investments can deliver fabulous returns, but you also take the risk you could lose everything you've invested.
High-risk investments include things like owning individual stocks, starting a business, playing the options market, or speculating on a piece of real estate.
It's not quite like gambling, because you're investing in an opportunity that you've hopefully taken the time to thoroughly research, but luck will still have quite a bit to do with your results.
For play money or sophisticated investors, these choices are fine. But for those of you who have a limited amount of funds and know you'll need to rely on them in retirement, you probably want to steer clear of higher risk choices.
Actionable Items
I like to look into this topic. I like to figure out how to invest an individual stock. I like to study Amazon stock, ROSS and Apple stock.
