«There becomes a market for
investment opportunities for these independent charters, which is
dangerous — wild and
dangerous — because at the end of the day, the result is a profit margin,» he said.
I'm certainly not advocating diving straight into stocks, sectors & markets you know nothing about, but clinging rigidly to your comfort zone may be just as / if not more
dangerous for your health — being the best sailor on a ship ain't much use if it's sinking fast in the middle of the Atlantic... Stocks change, valuations change, markets change, economies change — to avoid risk, and to seek
opportunity, you need to change also... The more flexible & varied your
investment approach — in terms of perspective & analysis — the more you'll stack the deck in your favour.
For regulators and governments, these
investment opportunities often have the hallmarks of
dangerous scams and are predominantly looked upon with suspicion.
