- 3:54tapped
- 3:54their
- 3:54toe
- 3:54into

- 4:00it's
- 4:00all
- 4:00about
- 4:01knowing
- 4:01your
- 4:01comfort
- 4:02level.
- 4:03And
- 4:03friend,
- 4:04as
- 4:04I
- 4:04said
- 4:04before,
- 4:05knowing
- 4:05your
- 4:05balance
- 4:06is
- 4:06really
- 4:06everything.
- 4:08So
- 4:08here's
- 4:08the
- 4:08thing
- 4:09I
- 4:09want
- 4:09to
- 4:09start
- 4:09off.
- 4:09First
- 4:10thing
- 4:10you've
- 4:10got
- 4:10to
- 4:10understand,
- 4:11risk
- 4:12and
- 4:12reward
- 4:12are
- 4:13always
- 4:13connected.
- 4:14That
- 4:14is
- 4:14just
- 4:14the
- 4:15truism
- 4:15of
- 4:15investments.
- 4:16If
- 4:16there's
- 4:17low
- 4:17risk,
- 4:17there's
- 4:18going
- 4:18to
- 4:18be
- 4:18low
- 4:18reward.
- 4:19Think
- 4:19of
- 4:19savings
- 4:20accounts.
- 4:20There
- 4:21is
- 4:21absolutely
- 4:22zero
- 4:22risk.
- 4:22Now,
- 4:22of
- 4:22course,
- 4:22there's
- 4:23the
- 4:23risk
- 4:23that
- 4:23your
- 4:23bank
- 4:24could
- 4:24go
- 4:24under
- 4:24if
- 4:24you
- 4:24got
- 4:25more
- 4:25than
- 4:25a
- 4:25certain
- 4:25amount
- 4:25of
- 4:26money.
- 4:26But
- 4:26generally
- 4:27there's
- 4:27no
- 4:27risk.
- 4:28Same
- 4:28thing
- 4:28with
- 4:28government
- 4:29bonds.
- 4:30Most
- 4:30people
- 4:30think
- 4:30that
- 4:30the
- 4:31United
- 4:31States
- 4:31is
- 4:31going
- 4:31to
- 4:32continue
- 4:32on.
- 4:32So
- 4:33government
- 4:33bonds
- 4:34have
- 4:34low
- 4:34risk,
- 4:34but
- 4:35the
- 4:35problem
- 4:35with
- 4:35that
- 4:35is
- 4:36they
- 4:36also
- 4:36have
- 4:37low
- 4:37reward.
- 4:38Well,
- 4:38the
- 4:38opposite
- 4:39is
- 4:39true
- 4:39as
- 4:39well.
- 4:40If
- 4:40you
- 4:40want
- 4:41to
- 4:41take
- 4:41high
- 4:41risk,
- 4:42sure,
- 4:42there's
- 4:42a
- 4:42potential,
- 4:43and
- 4:43I
- 4:43use
- 4:43the
- 4:43word
- 4:44potential
- 4:44because
- 4:44we
- 4:44got
- 4:44to
- 4:44be
- 4:44careful
