Grace, Re: Risk averse

I have a different take on what happened - same as the 90's. Some people were paying for assets that were so far out of the norm that it did not make any sense to give these companies your capital. For example look at the prices of a lot of stocks today it is the same as in the early 30's. If you give these companies your money to use today you can not expect to get a return on you capital until 40 years from now. That is not investing and I am risk averse in that kind of an environment.

It only makes sense to me to give a company my capital when management can give me a "good" return on my investment. I should be able to get 10% per year for taking the risk.
