The Money Making Machine ... Can Fail Too!

The Stock Market, Annuities, 401K's,  peer to peer lending, the Bond Market, CD's, Real Estate, Mutual Funds: they all can succeed wildly, or fail just as wildly. The making of money is a kind of
refined "crap shoot." You do your research about all the various factors in play: odds, products, competition, lawsuits, trends, the future, and a hundred other things. And then you invest.

Your "play" on AI or robot technology may make some money --- or it may go rapidly downhill before you can "break its fall." Either alternative is possible.

We, as investors, can only be vigilant, well-prepared, and as honest with ourselves as we can be. But the outcome, the ultimate outcome -- will always be a kind of "cosmic crap-shoot."
