Section 4. How To Choose An Investment
If you are thinking about investing your money in securities, it is
important to obtain reliable information about your potential
investments. If you are unsure about how to proceed, you may also want
to seek advice from a qualified person whom you trust. But always
remember that the final decision is yours. After all, it's your money!
One of the more basic relationships in investing is that between
risk and reward. Very often, investments that offer potentially high
returns are accompanied by relatively higher risk factors. It is up to
you to decide how much risk you can assume. Always keep in mind that

needs. In general, prospective investors should avoid "risky"
investments unless they have a steady income, adequate insurance, and
an emergency fund of readily accessible cash. If you need assistance
in making the most suitable choices, you might wish to consult books
on investing, a registered investment adviser, a broker-dealer, or, in
certain cases, an attorney, accountant, financial counselor, or
banker.
