I have always maintained that huge risk is acceptable so long as the potential consequences are also personally acceptable -- the consequences are based on unknowable returns (risk), meaning there could be some duds and some spectacular winners or they could all be duds (like buying one hundred lottery tickets) -- and if they are all duds you lose all or most of your money. If one or two hit really, really big (a winning ticket), you are looking good. What part of this do you find disagreeable?
