Abstract
Risk and financial instruments involved in the process of investment are currently evolving continuously. It would be difficult to attempt to clarify any of those, for we will never be able to learn the full list of all the existing financial instruments and risks that they involve or address.
“The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But, unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.”
—W.E. Buffett, excerpt from a letter to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. shareholders
