Tom Brough - Investing and Risk Investing money can be a delicate matter. Sometimes people are attached to their money so tightly that they have an issue with possibly losing a good portion or all of it if things were to go poorly. Unfortunately, there is no way to make investment a safe thing. There are of course higher and lower risk investments, but this still implies there is a risk. No matter what a person does, there is a risk in investing, as no one can know the future in such a volatile market. Some people have the experience and education that allows them to help navigate through the market, however. When sailing in the old world, ships would bring a man called a pilot with them. The pilot would know the currents and tidal tendencies of whatever waters they were going into, and would document such things. Because of this, a pilot’s journal was an extremely valuable and almost priceless item. In the same way, some men have become investment experts in such a way that they are able to see the trends and navigate as safely as possible. They know where the current will change and where the reefs are. However, no one can know a storm is coming until it is almost upon them. Perhaps they can tell shortly before sometimes. But some storms catch almost everyone by surprise. Only those who prepared for a storm survive those situations. And even then, it is not easy. Investment advisors exist for this reason. A man who works a nine-to-five job would have to spend a lot of time becoming adequately knowledgeable about the market, not to mention needing the ability to change or be ready for any storm on its way. So, instead of trying to manage things in his off time, Tom Brough Chicago hires an investment advisor. The advisor makes sure the man’s money is well cared for, and the man can still call the shots. But the advisor navigates him through. This sounds like a pretty great position, does it not? Use other people’s money at no risk to yourself to potentially make a ton of money. However, when a ship would get stuck out at sea, and when the scurvy was getting to men, who do you think they turned on? Killing the pilot was an almost sure way of admitting they were doomed, but it was also their way of getting revenge on the man who had betrayed their trust. With great responsibility comes great risk, and the job is far more difficult than can be summed up with words. Tom Brough in Chicago has been in the financial industry for over two decades, and no man could stay in one place in such a business if he were not successful.
