Investment is like a gamble you do not know if it is a success or a failure. Thus, before investing you need to know all the possible risks of your investment. There are risks that you cannot gauge but, there are precautionary measures to calculate the risks. By then, you could say that you are a proactive investor and by not putting all your investment in one basket, the risk is manageable. That's the time you could say that your investment is either GOOD or BAD.
