< All stocks have risk>

Volatility = a stock going up and down.

Risk = the probability of a stock going down and staying down.

I try to avoid risk. I embrace volatility. Many people confuse volatility and risk, but they are very different.

During the entire 2020 downturn, I sold nothing, and bought nothing. My portfolio has recovered. So, the temporary low stock prices did not effect me. I had picked stocks that would recover from that once-a-century event (or any event). So, I avoided risk, and accepted the volatility.
