How are you sleeping these days? If not so well, perhaps it's time to take a second look at your investments. After all, what good is money if you don't have peace of mind?

An investment is low-risk if the chances that you might lose money are low. - 投資について言う場合、 risk とは、投資で損をする可能性、または予想したほど儲からない可能性のこと、つまり、リスク、という意味です。
投資について high-risk と言うと、資金を失う可能性が高い、という意味になります。
投資について low-risk と言うと、資金を失う可能性が低い、という意味になります。
- a: What kind of stocks do you think I should buy?
b: Well, how much risk are you comfortable with? - A salesman just tried to sell me a no-risk investment with a 15% annual rate of return. If only there were such a thing!
- He was still young, so he was willing to make some high-risk investments.
- High risk can mean high return, but it can also mean heavy losses.

Take care!
