- ekianjo 13y agoThat's why I am saying it's stupid. Nobody can predict anything, as best you can assume that it will go this way or that way, but that's it. The only exception may be if you are buying bonds (and even that, you never know if the bond issuer goes bankrupt in the meantime...). There's always SOME amount of risk when you invest in something. If there was no risk then everyone would invest in the same place and be rich.
