Understanding Investment Risk - Any business that we do, in addition to having a promising positive side, it also has risks. Likewise, in investing, there are at least three risks to watch out for when it will make an investment, namely :

> The fall in value of Investment
Investment risk of the most feared people when it begun investing in general is "Will my money be lost?" Most people may answer "No" when him asked like that. Because no one wants to lose their money. However, any investment have certain risks. They differ only in size. There are investment products that investment risk is quite large, some medium, some small.

Now if you invest, you should consider how much you are willing to decrease the value of responsibility if you lose? 10 percent? 20 percent? 50 percent? Or 100 percent? Regardless of loss you are willing to bear, remember that it is part of investing. Do not ever expect you will continue to profit. The so-called loss, occasionally we do have to experiencing. Due to the loss, it is an experience that makes us so much to learn in investing.

> Difficult to Sale of Investment Products
The second risk, whether the investment products he bought it easier to sell / non-refundable. Some people may be happy to invest in gold because gold is considered to be easily resold. However, there are also people who invest in U.S. dollar, and dollars are quick inclusion to the bank. This is because when the dollar was kept in the cupboard, the physical condition of paper money may be decreased, and it will sometimes make a time when the dollar was to be sold again. Understandably, some banks often do not want to buy foreign currency when the condition of the money is physically torn, damaged or crumpled.

Another example of an investment product that is not always easy to resell the items collection. Collection items are generally not easily resold because a buyer's market these items are very specific. Painting, for example. Because the specific market, namely those who will be painting hobby as well, not always easy to sell the painting. But, once sold, the price could be very high and provide a decent profit for those who sell them.

So, before you decide to invest, you should know first how easy investment products can be sold back. Do not let you invest but can not sell it, because things are hard to sell.

> Return was obtained by inflation
Imagine if you invest in time deposits that provide 10 percent interest a year, while inflation in the year up 15 percent instead? This often happens, not because of too high prices of goods and services, but due to the selected product itself is not necessarily appropriate.

Maybe some of you want a product that is safe and conservative investments. However, the consequence is that the investment results obtained might not be able to match the prices of goods and services. If you hold it naturally from year to year, then you will go bankrupt.



What will we can do?
Do not close yourself to the information. Learn about other investment products that you may not know, and after that try to go there considering all the consequences. Over time, you can surely cope with high prices of goods and services by investing in products that are potentially able to deliver higher yields than the price increases.

How to Reduce Investment Risk

To reduce the risk of investment, the easiest way is to invest in various investment vehicles. This method is called to create an investment portfolio. The purpose of this method is to reduce investment losses that may arise from an investment vehicle to shut it down using the benefits of other investment vehicle.

For example, investing in mutual funds and on savings. If they give benefits so the investor will not suffer losses. But what if one of them at a disadvantage, for example, the value of mutual funds down or bank have liquidated? Given the expected losses of this portfolio one investment can be reduced by gains from other investments. If both lose, it means that temptation.

So the core to reduces the risk of a portfolio of investment is : "Do not put to many eggs in one basket" because if it dropped, then the eggs will be more broken than if the eggs placed in many basket.

Investment risk is to watch but not to be feared. Right?
