  1. If you want to get a good investment, you need to take a little bit of a risk. There are better ways of doing that by investing in something that maybe won't gain as much, but will be more secure. Choose wisely!

  2. When you invest in something that has somewhat of a high risk you run a somewhat of a high risk of losing it, but that also means that there is potentially more money to be earned. If you put $100 in a jar on top on your bookshelf at home, you run a very low risk of losing it, but you get zero percent interest on it.

  3. When investing in certain items, like electronics, there is a risk in say, breaking the item(s), so then, you might be investing even more in the more expensive (updated) electronic. It can be risky buying electronic items.

  4. In general, the more chance of profit, the more risk of loss. If you invest in a new company, you have higher risks because you don't know the response it will get, however you have more chance to make a lot money if they become the next big thing. for example, if you had invested in Facebook when it was new, you wouldn't have known if it would do well, if it hadn't been a hit you would have lost money, but since it obviously was a big thing you would have made a lot as it grew bigger and bigger.

  5. Generally speaking the higher the risk the higher the reward. But if the risk gets too high then sometimes you just loose all your investments, and on the other hand if the risk is too low then you probably wont be making any money.

  6. The relationship between risk and investing is the greater risk you take, the greater the chance of profit. But if you take too much risk, it could backfire and you could loose everything.

  7. Usually when there is a high risk linked to the investment, a higher rate of return is probable. When you put your money into a savings account, or the cookie jar, there is low risk of losing your money, but you also won't make anything by choosing that option for saving and protecting your money. When there is more liquidity, there is typically less return. Taking more risk when investing often results in a greater benefit in the return of your money.

    The more you risk the more you get in return. This is because the people who created the investment want more people to invest but they personally want more. So they make the risk higher and the reward high also.

  9. Risk comes with investing. It could get you a lot of money but it could also loose you a lot of money.

  12. Investing is a risk. You either gain or you loose money. In order to get money though, you need take a risk and invest instead of doing nothing with it.

  13. When investing you will either loose or gain. But you need to take that risk so you don't just have a huge pile of money.

  14. Generally, the higher the risk the higher the reward. But if the risk gets too high then you have a bigger-than-average chance that you will just loose all your investments, but also if the risk is too low then you probably wont be earning much money.
