“Risk never looks like risk when it’s generating a high return.”
Howard Marks
Students should understand that every saving and investment product has different risks and returns.The risk is the chance that you will lose some or all the money you invest. The balance between risk and return varies by the type of riskiest investment. As a general rule, to earn the higher returns, you have to take greater risk.
There is a wide spectrum of investment assets each of which has a different risk profile. Some of the common types of assets are – stocks, commodities, fixed income, gold, real estate, art, derivatives and alternative investments such as venture and private equity capital.
Future & option
Options offer high rewards for investors trying to time the market. An investor who purchases options may purchase a stock or commodity equity at a specified price within a future date range.
IPOs
Some initial public offerings (IPOs), such as burger king, attract a lot of attention that can skew valuations and the judgments professionals offer on short-term returns.
Penny stocks

Many individuals see the low price as a possible deal, but in reality, penny stocks are cheap because they aren’t worth it.Most of these companies are start-ups or other ventures that have little capital and a small chance of success. So choose wisely.
