Johnny Franck - s** My 401k lyrics

[Intro] Investment is the purchase of an a**et or an item with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in the future and be sold at the higher price and generally does not include deposits with a bank or similar institution which is opposite of trading or speculation, which are short-term practices involving a much higher degree of risk. Financial a**ets take many forms and can range from the ultra safe low return government bonds to much higher risk and higher reward international stocks, and a good investment strategy will diversify the portfolio according to the specified needs and regardless of the success of a fundamental pick, full potential of the a**et cannot be reached without a proper money management strategy.

You can maximize expected returns by investing in risky a**ets, or you can be wise and minimize risk and find a more suitable strategy somewhere in between both of the extremes of the investing spectrum
