Imo, investment is like gambling. There's odds & risks. Never ever invest $ that ure not prepared to lose.
Ppl flipping properties also subject themselves to risks. Not just risk of market force, but risk of construction defects.
Ppl queuing & buying lottery weekly, also subject themselves to risk of losing their bets.
Bottomline, if wanna play with fire, gotta know that fire can burn. Wanna go skydiving, gotta know the chute may fail.
investment is nothing like gambling. investment is boring, like watching grass grow, according to Buffett
