It comes to me that many people engage in risk without knowing what risk is all about, which arouses my interest in creating this thread in order to address more about risk and how critical it might be when you know about it
First of all, WHAT IS RISK?
Risk, in simple terms, is the probability that your action, decision, or wish can be useful or harmful to you. But the hidden definition behind it is that going into risk without knowledge always comes with a negative consequence. That is why you need to know more about the context of risks. Understanding risk is very important in both personal and business contexts to save and guide you against a critical downfall or even bankruptcy and enhance good and better decision-making for individuals, groups, households, or even organizations by identifying,investigating, assessing, and addressing risk before diving into it.
TYPE OF RISK
1. Financial risks
2. Operational risk
3. Strategic risk
4. Compliance risk
5. Reputational risk
EXPLANATION
1. Financial risk: from the name financial risk, what will first come to your mind is that all this will be associated with finance, and that is actually what it means, but it is more focused on company loan risk, the ups and downs of finance in business, individuals, and groups. This risk does not only focus on companies but also affects individuals and groups of people, but it mostly affects marketing businesses, which include equity risk, interest rate risk,commodity risk, and currency risk.Financially, risk simply means losing money on an investment or market, which might be a reason for poor risk analysis and poor decision-making.
2. Operational risk: Operational risk can be defined as a type of loss that happens as a result of poor management skills, which can be as a result of the employee or the employer, which usually happens in higher business fields, and mostly it is as a result of poor management, which can also include criminal operations like fraud, and the only solution for this is when you are looking for employers. You should always focus on who you are employing, and most importantly, you should always include these two interviews, which include hard work and financial resistance.
3. Strategic risk: this is a type of risk that depends on your decision-making. Why I said so is that this is the level of risk that determines whether you will succeed or not because strategic risk depends on the strategy that you as an investor will use in order to gain or lose, which is sometimes related to financial risk because it also focuses on assessment, analysis, and the most important aspect, which is decision-making. So this type of risk deals with a lot of concentration; if not, you will always end up regretting it. Crypto trading is a type of risk that deals with higher concentrations, which is why it is classified as an example of strategic risk.
4. Compliance risk: There is a proverb that says a single tree cannot make a forest. This is what they really mean, which is that two or more people bring their ideas together in order to invest. That means all the strategy and analysis will not be done by a single person but by many people, which shows that it will be simpler and have a higher expectation of being successful. That is why most knowledgeable people engage in this type of risk because it has higher risk management than all of the other risks.
5. Reputational risk: this is a type of risk that is the most dangerous risk that you can ever think of, because with a small mistake you will lose everything. This is a type of risk that is most done by newbies in business, because if the investment that they do crashes or fails, they will lose all their capital or shares that they have already invested in, which is capable of affecting any other business, but it most affects the newbies because there are certain businesses that are included as reputational risk businesses, like importing and exporting of goods, shipping, and many others.
In my opinion there are only two major types of risks the calculated risks and the non calculates or blind risks.
In calculated risks we do some research and the after putting all the efforts and techniques we came to a conclusion that now this trade will make us profits and then we invest. In blink risks we just invest by seeing the hype of a project or by so-called signals group.
