As an investor you're likely keenly aware of the fact that plunking down your hard-earned money for a sliver of ownership in a company involves risk. The amount you're investing for your share of the company could decrease in value significantly, and a worst case scenario could lead to your investment becoming worthless. That's why it's so important to consider what could go wrong ahead of time so you have an idea of what to watch out for as you hold your position.
That's why I love the quote by Carl Richards in which he reminds us that "[risk] is what's left over when you think you've thought of everything else." All too often we only look at what could go right and typically don't dig too deeply into what could go wrong. Instead of being reminded that the real risk is something we are not considering, all too often we are blindsided by a risk that was hiding in plain sight.
