Trading without risk. Please explain...

Quote from DT-waw:

over the last 2 years i've met so many people who want to engage in trading business, BUT they are not ready to risk a cent.

I won't talk about prop firms, since these folks are delusional beyond hope. Just normal people, often outside from trading world.

For example, i've talked to a guy worth over $50 million. He could not risk 50,000. Funds with assets 40 million- can't lose more than 15k.

Trading will always be risky. Are there any Formula 1 wannabe drivers who demand a guarantee that they will never crash in their bolids?

Lol that's pathetic and irrational.

Go to the $50 mill guy and tell him that every fortnight he loses $50k in inflation alone, even if he has his cash in the bank. If he has his 50 mill in stocks or real estate, he will be down >$1 million any time the market dips a tiny amount.

With 50 mill in CDs, your risk is way, way higher than 15k even if you sit on your ass doing nothing. This guy is behaving like a pillock.

Han Solo ignored the odds and ended up with a rustbucket spaceship, while Lando Calrissian figured them and ended up owning Cloud City.
