There is some risk with anything. I have some low risk investments
and some fairly risky investments. By fairly risky, I mean
investments where I could lose all of my investment, but would lose
more than I invested. But I have more than one risky investment. So
if several go bust, but several do real well I come out ahead. And a
lot more fun than investing in government bonds.
