Talking About Risk
from the risk-takers-in-history dept
I found it pretty interesting that what most of us may view as safe options for investments, bonds may not be as safe or as good an investment. An interesting historical study done on returns from stocks and bonds revealed that the overall return of stocks outweighed the measly returns of bonds. Putting it in another way, stocks over all seemed just as risky as bonds but the plus point was that they also took part in the potential upside (which bonds didn’t). Seems to me like good insight for the new economy.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
