11% every 3 months?????
How risky is your investment?
And as you guys have mentioned, a 1 or 5 year investment strategy is pretty different. My end plan is to make enough money, however way, so that in about 5 years I'll be in a much more financially liberated position -- instead of leaving the 400k in the bank and watching it collect dust. I'm hoping for a double return, but if it means getting into risky situations (where I'm at an age/position in which I would be going into that market blind-folded) then it's obviously out of the window.
What is the likelihood of making 50% on 400k within 5 years? What's the risk like and is it measurable (like a percentage of what I'd potentially risk losing from my 400k?).
