types of risk
Any form of investment, you must first consider risk. Thinking of only profits i
n the beginning is an amateur way of thinking.
Let's go over a few examples or risk.
1. Inflationary risk: inflation will erode your purchasing power. You need to be
at inflation to actually make money. Typical inflation is 3-5%.
2. Business risk: initial investment in a company. This is a high risk = high re
ward risk but you need to be aware that you may lose your entire investment. Als
o, if you borrowed money you can find yourself in a tremendous debt.
3. Timing risk: timing is also important in any investment you make. For example
, if you bought a house at the peak of a economic cycle you are paying alot more
than you can several years down the line. If you sell a stock just before it be
comes a 10 bagger, this is a lost opportunity.
4. Market risk: The global economy is vast and unpredictable. Your investment in
China can be eliminated due to goverment policies, your 401k plan may disappear
due to a bear market. All of these uncertainties are market risks.
Always put risk capital aside from living expenses. If you are investing with yo
ur kid's college fund, that is a bad idea. If you are investing with your life s
avings, that is not a good idea. Always have a strategy and never let some finan
cial expert manage your money blindly. Research and do your homework first. I kn
ow too many people who know nothing about the financial markets buying stocks be
cause of a phone call from a broker. Avoid these costly mistakes!
