The bigger the risk, the bigger the gain. If anybody is afraid of losing then put the money in a bank or in a vault no risk no gain. Take the risk if you succeed you will be happy if you lose you will become wise. it's a win win situation. But offcourse it defends on how you absorb the situation.
Definitely agree. The saying 'high-risk, high-reward' is living up to the moment, wherein you gain the profit based on the amount you invested. The higher the amount you risk, the bigger the gains that you will receive in the future. But it all boils down to your mental attitude and patience on handling the risks. There are methods in order to reduce the risk of losing all of your investments and you must be diligent upon following those protocols if you are determined to maximize your profits. Like what I always discuss, do not be afraid to lose some of your investments.
Experience is always the best teacher as it enlightens you about your mistakes or the things that you overlooked along the way.
