To answer this question, you first need to determine your risk tolerance level. Risk is the amount of volatility and uncertainty you're willing to accept from an investment in seeking your financial goals.
Some investments carry a higher level of risk than others.
Generally, the higher that risk of an investment, the greater its potential returns. The lower the risk, the less likely it is for that investment to generate a higher rate of return. The more comfortable you are with so-called price volatility, the greater the risk you are probably willing to assume.
