Losses—and Gains

“Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.”—Longfellow


When investing money, you must consider the risk–reward pendulum: any account that could possibly gain 30% also has the potential to lose that much or more. Sure, you'll do no greater suffering in the gym than attempting to squat 150% of your bodyweight for 20 reps. But, oh, how sublime the rewards!
