Risk isn’t your enemy. Risk is that friend who always convinces you to take the 2 a.m. Uber to karaoke. Expensive? Yes. Regretful sometimes? Absolutely. But without them, your life would be boring—and so would your portfolio.
Investors talk about risk like it’s a disease to avoid. It’s not. It’s the cost of being alive in markets. Too little, and you stagnate. Too much, and you flame out. The trick is balance.
I’ve blown accounts in my early trading days. I’ve also played it too safe and missed golden runs. Both hurt. But both taught me the same thing: risk is inevitable. So the question isn’t “Should I take risk?” It’s “What kind of story do I want my risks to tell?”
Because in the end, your portfolio isn’t just numbers—it’s your autobiography, written in dollars, volatility, and late-night karaoke receipts. 🎤
