OT:
Who can those people be who can afford to lose?

Anyone who is responsible for the security and care of others usually can not "afford to lose" their money and should be in safer investment strategies. An old widow(er) or individual approaching retirement with a limited amount of income and capital simply can't afford to lose.

On the other hand a young single individual who makes big money, or has big money, with minimal responsibilities to others can "afford" to take much greater risks and can afford to lose some or all of their investment.

These are the extremes and, in my opinion, there are various levels of risk tolerance in between.
