One statement I cannot stand is the following "I like the idea of investing and I would like to do more with my money, but I do not want the risk. "Perhaps I can have 100% security?"
Well if you are this person, I mean this in the nicest way, please do not contact me to discuss investments. If someone has to explain that investing comes with some form of risk, that is not a individual I would like to work with.
“Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” -- Helen Keller
Any investments: Stocks, Start Up Companies, Developments, Property, Commodities, Business, Venture Capital/Seed Investing, ALL COME with their own risks and ultimately you could lose it all. (Capital Always At Risk)
However, investing should be seen as an exciting opportunity to make your money work harder, therefore how do we minimise risk? Well we do this by conducting research, learning, understanding and ideally having some involvement in the industry to what we are investing in.
“There's no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk.” -- Nora Roberts
My recommendation to anyone reading this blog looking for investment: Only work with High Net Worth Investors, Sophisticated Investors. If you cannot specifically work with either of the two but perhaps have retail investors offering funds, then please ENSURE they have previous experience when lending their money! Retail investors with no experience can be extremely naive, they can get caught up in the moment and bring an element of their own risk to the deal.
If you are an investor looking to invest, then my recommendations are: Do not jump in with both feet, take time to research the investment, ask for referrals or case studies and understand 100% the investment model. NEVER part with hard earned money unless it is capital you can afford to lose.
Investing should not be risking your life savings! BE SMART, THINK FIRST & INVEST SAFELY.
