 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh, and today I wanted to talk to you about taking chances and taking risk. There's something called calculated risk where you assess all the things that you have ahead of you and then the payout or the reward that's associated. If you accomplish whatever your goal is, whatever it happens to be, for example, say it's trading, you wanna be a professional trader, you wanna do this for a living, you said it all up, you say it's gonna cost me this much for a class, it's gonna take this much time, is it really worth it? You have to assess, again, the risk to reward that's associated with it and the payout. If you wanna get ahead in life, you have to be willing to take chances and you have to be willing to take risk. And I think a lot of people, when they decide that they wanna trade and they decide they wanna do this, they just simply don't understand what's involved. They don't understand really the cost that it's going to take them to learn how to trade. They don't understand the time that may involve them to learn how to trade properly. They don't understand that and therefore, consequently, they become disappointed if they don't make all this money that they want really quickly, really fast without any investment of their time or money. I think if you are realistic and have a full understanding of what it really takes to be successful, the trading really, the payoff is definitely, definitely worth it. And I think when you look at what you want and you say, how badly do I want this thing? And what am I willing to do to get there? And you assess that and you say, you know what? The payout is worth the time. The payout is worth the money. The payout is worth the risk because once you learn how to trade, it's just so easy when you know what to do. But when you don't know what to do, it's hard. So learning how to do it is very, very, very important. If you have questions, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswitch.com.
