On a long term basis, investor should expect to be rewarded for the level of risk that they are taking. "Low risk" investment should also mean a lower level of volatilty (amount of change in the value of the investment). While "high-risk" (volatility) investments can vary greatly in value in short time frames however they provide the most long term potential for growth.
