Controlling "RISK"

Outstanding investors, in my opinion, are distinguished at least as much for their ability to control risk as they are for generating return.

What ever few awards are presented for risk control, they’re never given out in good times. Th e reason is that risk is covert, invisible. Risk— the possibility of loss— is not observable. What is observable is loss, and loss generally happens only when risk collides with negative events.

Germs cause illness, but germs themselves are not illness. We might say illness is what results when germs take hold.
