No opportunity, action, or decision is without risks. There are inherent risks associated with making financial decisions, undertaking refinancing efforts, and/or investing in financial instruments or securities.

Investing in stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs), bonds, mutual funds, and money market funds involve risks of monetary loss. In these cases, the loss of principal, or the original investment, is possible.
Some high-risk investments may also use leverage. In these cases, utilizing leverage can increasingly accentuate gains and losses which is increasingly factored by the amount of leverage used. An adequate knowledge of leverage usage, stop losses, and risk/loss potential is required before undertaking or participating in such investments.
In cases of foreign financial investments, there are special risks involved. These risks include greater volatility based around political, economic, currency conversion risks along with differences in international accounting methods.
