All investments has a risk

Trading stocks/options/futures,etc has much more risk ....

I think, to some degree, investing and trading is a gambling, just play the game of probability ...

So always keep this in mind, IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL, just ONE UNCONTROLLED LOSS could wipe you out ....

My risk control list:

1. Never bet on one trade too heavily, even you are 100% sure you can win the trade. It's just a good habit for any good investors.

2. Diversification.

3. Hedging with both long and short positions.

4. Always keep 50% of the portfolio's market value in CASH.
