Most are more cautious for sure! I told my wife, "Big risk equals big reward, at least when everything unfolds as anticipated, but like it or not there is a big part of it that falls to chance. Anything can happen. Due to that high risk, it's best to diversify, but getting in on some ground floor investments as part of your diversification can pay off HUGELY. As opposed to lottery tickets or slot machines, you can seriously tip the scales in your favor with solid research. Much more of an "educated" gamble". She trusts me just enough! lol
