There Is No Such Thing as "No-Risk"

There Is No Such Thing as "No-Risk"

“Safe because it’s regulated” is one of the most misunderstood ideas in investing. Regulation can reduce certain risks, but it does not guarantee your capital, protect you from market losses, or erase inflation, liquidity, counterparty, and opportunity-cost risk. There is no such thing as “No-Risk.” There are only different risks at different prices. The better question is not, “Is this safe?” It’s: “What can hurt me, how badly can it hurt me, and if I’m wrong, do I survive?”
