Thomas Schweich's book "Crashproof Your Life" is a classic in this regard.

Your post provides a comprehensive list of the types of risk and a good mathematical explanation using standard deviations.<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for introducing me to a new term "gearing." Based on what I read, gearing appears to be the equivalent of using margin. While I understand the risk and benefits of using margin, I have chosen not to use it in my investing strategy. For me, since margin is a form of debt (although, hopefully, short term debt), I choose not to use margin for my stock investments.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in your personal finance journey. Your blog indicates you have made excellent progress towards your goal.Super Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172939501208456194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-1162089885183113282006-10-28T22:44:00.000-04:002006-10-28T22:44:00.000-04:00A good intro to the need to manage risk.

For some additional info on the different types of risk, how it is estimated using standard deviation, etc. see my recent post (Oct 19) "The types of Investment Risk". For those interested, I also have some detailed posts about the use of gearing, and how this affects risk and return.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>http://enoughwealth.blogspot.comenoughwealth@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371028394685288035noreply@blogger.com
