I have a lot of money in the stock market, but I'm worried that I could lose it all. What are the risks of investing?

There are many risks associated with investing in the stock market. These include market volatility, liquidity risk, and political risk. Market volatility refers to the fact that stocks can be highly volatile, meaning their prices can rise or fall quickly over short periods of time. Liquidity risk is the potential for an investor’s investments to become illiquid (meaning they cannot easily be sold) due to events such as a company going bankrupt. Political risk refers to the possibility that changes in government policies could cause investors to lose money in the stock market.
