Do you think investing the markets is a big risk?

  I think that "big risk" is the very definition of investing in the markets, not that it makes it restrictive to do so, but merely as a cautionary and learned perspective.

Not if you don't invest more than you can afford to lose. 

Is a risk and can be a big risk unless you have sufficient capital to invest you can assemble a portfolio or divergent enough holdings that they can ride the market so if some go down the others will balance that by coming up. 

it probably depends on what youre investing

PEOPLE ARE crazy not to invest in the stock market!!

but I mean thru a mutual fund, where you are exposed to many different types of funds; big companies, mid-size, and smaller companies.

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ANY MONEY by not investing in the stock market, PERIOD.

if you are financially conservative, you can still invest at least, say, 10 or 20% of your money in stock funds.

HISTORICALLY, the stock market always goes up.........when it goes down, it will eventually come right back up.

so get on the ball with  this and rethink your investment strategies!!!!!

in the long run, you will benefit greatly!!!!!!
