Risk of Investment

Whats the difference between saving accounts and investment?
  • saving accounts are riskfree, investments are not
  • you always gain a percentage of money on your saving account
  • you can make a lot of money on your investment or lose all of it
Does time play a role in investments?
  • bigger chance of making money in long-term investments
  • conditions affect time of investment rates


3 Things about Investing:
  1. no guarantees + no perfect way to invest
  2. understand how your investment works
  3. make a plan to determine your needs + goals
