> This is dead-on, but just to add to this, none of your investors are investing in your company for a 7 percent yearly return. Great point. Also remember that your investors are investing specifically in your business, not giving you the money to re-invest in something else. If you take investment money from someone to run a business then turn around and flip it into stocks or Bitcoin or something, you're going to have a serious problem if the value goes down. You might even have a problem if the value goes up. Investors don't take kindly to someone losing their money on something that wasn't agreed upon.
