That is what investment advisers mean when they say, "High returns requires high risk." The word 'risk' should be read to mean, you can lose everything you invested and sometimes you can lose everything you invested and more.
The whole financial mess, which has put so many people out of work, would never have happened if the investors had not thought that they had insurance against their losses, should there be losses. If the Republicans had allowed the regulation of the insurance industry, AIG would never have been allowed to insure so much that they almost brought down the entire world's economy.
Historians know that it is very easy to convince people that the "other guys" caused a problem which "our guys" actually caused. Now the Republicans are saying that the economic mess, which happened under a Republican administration, is actually the fault of the Democrats, who just got stuck cleaning up the mess.
