When I look for security in my investments I put money in mutual funds and bonds. Blue chips sometimes too. It keeps me from whining, complaining and making those around me miserable.
When I’m investing in small cap securities, I take full responsibility for my involvement knowing I’m taking much risk by doing so. I take the good, the bad and the ugly it throws at me and may highlight to fellow investors, at times, when (if) it rises 100%/yr.
Unfortunately, I also understand some investors do not have the stomach for such risks and wind up painting everything negatively to lessen their pain. They just are in the wrong stocks. They just are.
