Conrad,

all that heat spent on a semantic misunderstanding. 'Risk' in the context of investing doesn't mean the same as risk at the gambling table or in the snake pit. Its meaning is closer to volatility. High risk investments are fluctuating so much that short term profits are hard to get. Over the long term the fluctuations cancel out, and then the high risk investments prove to be the high return investments. That's all.
