No such thing... better the return, higher the risk. Fact of life.

Higher return, higher risk. Nothing to see here...

More risk for zero gain.

So you want high returns with little to no risk?

Doesn’t exist. Sorry bud.

True. But on the other hand, I'm not factoring any upside relating to increase in value. See my edit in parent about risk.

> low risk, high reward

I know about a few somewhat lower risk and somewhat higher reward options, but nothing which is significantly more or am I missing it?

I’m not aware of anything with that risk / liquidity profile which pays better? In fact theoretically there shouldn’t be anything.

That seems like an increase in risk disproportional to the return on investment.

ledauphin | karma 1532 | avg karma 3.25 · | 2021-06-03 03:02:14+00:00

risk/reward ratio here is way different, no?

czbond | karma 1682 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2021-12-14 18:12:27

Yes it is. But taking the highest probabilistic chance, with the highest ROI, and lowest downside seems the best right? It is better than arguing what ifs, and nuances all day?

One can always stamp out risk by reducing return.

greyman | karma 3322 | avg karma 2.95 · | 2008-08-20 13:13:30

One possible answer: you can make more money and with lower risk.

edit: and quicker.

This isn't high risk though. It's low risk. However, just because something's low risk doesn't mean it's worth the investment.

The problem here is that you could make this same argument about almost anything, a la Pascal's Wager.

It's way lower risk and if you can grow 50M into billions thats pretty much Unicorn level returns

timr | karma 29007 | avg karma 5.19 · | 2009-04-09 08:30:44+00:00

...what? That's nonsense.

You might be able to "stamp out" return by reducing risk, but the converse doesn't hold: there are plenty of ways to risk money without having any reasonable expectation of return.

Err... I mean reward to risk ratio is pretty low... probably even negative advantage gained, and lots of risk exposure.

matz1 | karma -22 | avg karma -0.01 · | 2017-03-05 02:26:39+00:00

Its high risk but the potential return is also great.

cm2187 | karma 24483 | avg karma 3.15 · | 2020-05-10 22:08:22+00:00

True but you are taking say a -30% loss risk for only 0.5% expected return. I don’t think any risk manager is going to be very comfortable with that risk/reward.

1270018080 | karma 701 | avg karma 1.12 · | 2022-05-22 12:38:01

Return is directly correlated to risk.

Your comment makes you seem like a very easy mark for the scammers targeting you.

It's just higher risk and lower bang for buck right now.
