Risk

What does "more risk, more reward" mean for beginners?

Higher potential upside usually comes with higher downside. There is no free high return with zero risk - the skill is choosing risks worth taking.

How StockIT helps you practice this

Watch the risk/reward bar (unlock 5-1). Load volatile sectors (IT, Energy) and feel bigger swings; park in Utilities and feel calmer. The bar makes 'more risk ↔ more reward' visible.

In-game tip: “More Risk, More Reward” — Riskier investments can pay more, but they can also hurt more.
