Reading the news these days, it almost seems like there is something a little wrong with you if you are not afraid of the stock market. We have seen two major stock market declines in less than 10 years. On top of all that is the ever-present fear of losing money.
Still, potential investors should think a little more about the real risks in the stock market. Stocks are not actually that scary, and if people keep a few points in mind, they can successfully navigate the real hazards and be at ease with investing in stocks. (If the unpleasant emotions in When Fear And Greed Take Over are allowed to influence your decision-making, they may cost you dearly.)
