The saying high risk – high reward, would be nice, if the rewards were guaranteed.

High risk often means you will lose everything.

So, ideally you want to minimize risk as much as possible.

People often assume that high risk is always equal to high reward.

You really don’t want to lose your money or your life.

That’s why minimizing risk always makes sense.

And if you are into investing always invest money you can afford to lose, as money from investments isn’t some free money made out of thin air.
