There's a lot you can do to mitigate risk. Start by doing some homework on the investment you're considering. This mostly applies to the stock market which is what most people think of when they think of investments. This is far too narrow though.<BR/><BR/>Adopt an "own and control" strategy. People say the stock market is so risky because it's out of there control and in the hands of the "market sentiment".<BR/><BR/>A rental property on the other hand can be owned by you and controlled by you. Don't buy it until you do your homework and make sure the numbers work. While there are still some unforseen risks, they are mostly calculated.<BR/><BR/>To say that high returns are always risky is a bit too general.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog though.<BR/><BR/>-limeade<BR/>http://fiscalmusings.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
