Hi all,
I'm 17, trying to navigate the complex world of investing. Hats off to you seasoned veterans!
Quick question. I see some Indexes/ETF's/Mutual Funds etc are labelled as low risk, while others are high risk. Low risk generally means underwhelming ROI. High risk funds imply the rewards are supposedly be higher... but for how long....?
Here's the question. Once you factor out the noise and volatility, and look at long term growth... do higher risk index investments actually yield higher returns over the long run? Or are these institutions claiming "potentially" higher earnings over a short period of time, with equal performance taking occasional losses into account?
I ask because I'm thinking long term, and I genuinely don't care if next week my investment is worth twice or half what it's worth today. I'm thinking long term. I want to maximize my real rate of return for the next 20-30 years. I can afford to wait until the market starts peaking.
What do you think? Is there RARR actually better?
P.S. Sorry, I know I should be able to read the charts, but I havent fully learned to use them yet. In time . :)
Cj\heers!
