The reason we are here. All investments carry some degree of risk. The higher the risk, the higher the potential return, and the less likely it will achieve the higher return.
For example, U.S. Treasury bonds and bills are very secure. However, the price for this safety is a very low return on your investment after the effects of inflation and the taxes you pay on the earnings on your investment.
The reason for us to consider this type of stocks is to hope for a higher return in a not too distant future. There is no right or wrong amount of risk. You must weigh the potential reward against the risk of an investment to decide if the pain is worth the potential gain.
