There are a number of people who invest in stocks and also benefitted by it. But it is a known fact that stock market can be very risky. Another way of making money through investment is by investing in bonds which are not as risky as the stock market. The reason is that the person who is purchasing is the bond is sure to receive his capital investment back again until and unless the company that issued the bond becomes bankrupt. When you are investing in bonds you will get an internet on the annual basis

I'm worried about those unknown facts, but I would like to get an internet every year.

Why isn't "Ponzi scheme" one of the poll choices?

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess.
