When people talk about risk many quickly point to cryptocurrency and forex as the biggest risks anyone can take. However this mid-year August 2025 was a real eye opener. For example my wife invested a lot of time and money in beans this year but when the market crashed the losses were heavy. This shows that even physical investments can be just as risky if not more depending on the circumstances.
In my country, the price of bean significantly increased from last year to some months in this year. Beans has season and people know the price will likely fall and the price fall. Did you still invest in beans when the price is already up so much? Know that food are like that. There are time they will increase in price so much and later the price will fall.
Everything in life are risky so far it is about trading. But crypto and forex trading are far riskier.
