Bigger risk, better reward Grin
not always the case. buying magic beans is really high risk.
ive never heard of magic beans actually paying off.
so not always the potential for higher reward just cuz something is higher risk.
If there is no potential for gain (or even recovery of your investment) then there is no risk, just guaranteed loss.
Risk means you don't know what is going to happen.
Both are right approaches.
In finances and stockmarkets the risk is defined as the mean variance of return (often it is called by the name of volatility).
However, in this case risk is more like "business risk".
If I start a business, it has basically limitless possibilities and I might become a billionaire but also I might end up bankcrupt. It is not so much risk, it is more like uncertainity of future outcome.
In investing, risk is not uncertainity but simply ROI movements (ie an asset could be extremely risky despite it goes nothing but up with high percents daily - never going down - and making its owners wealthy).
