Risk and Return - Good advice is the best investment

  • G Hukins University of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Financial fortunes are made and lost daily. At the one extreme the casino player takes high risk with the hope of getting a high return, while at the other, the conscientious saver reduces risk by placing the money in a secure bank for a low return. In the latter case, the return may even be less than the inflation rate.
