An active investor is someone who actually lives off their investments as opposed to wages from a job.
As long as you have more cash flowing in than flowing out, your investment is a good investment.
Once a person gains experience and a good reputation, it takes less and less money to create bigger and bigger investments.
If the investor is uneducated, anything he or she invests in will be risky. So it's not the investment that is risky. It's the investor.
Any time an investment company has to spend heavily on advertising, it's probably a bad business in which to invest.
Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process.
It's the investor who is risky, not the investment.
