Posted by

worst

The chart above comes from Matt Phillips at Quartz and is a good reminder of why you shouldn’t invest in stupid sh*t. Obviously any asset can decline in price – blue chip stocks, your house, etc – nothing is immune. But don’t go out looking for additional trouble when the world is perfectly capable of handing you losses on the regular stuff.
