Investment Tip of the Day
“Don’t Just Chase Returns — Manage Risk First.” High returns often come with high risks. Smart investors prioritize risk management by:
✅ Diversifying across asset classes (stocks, crypto, real estate, fixed income)
✅ Using stop-loss orders to limit downside in trading
✅ Position sizing to avoid overexposure to any one investment
✅ Avoiding emotional decisions — stick to your strategy even in volatile markets
Remember: Protecting your capital is just as important as growing it. A strong defense keeps you in the game.
