Is Investing too scary?

by Johnny Cash on October 06, 2011

Is investing too scary?

The first rule of investments is: If its too scary to invest an amount, don't invest!

It's not worth the stress for you!

(Not to mention that it's not fair to your fellow community members, that have to deal with your fears all day long).

FanBox is a growing site, and the Knowledge Investor is a new product. There will be bugs. There will be hiccups. There will be learnings - for all of us.

Please note that an approach like this (providing this type of self-service capability to a web-based community) has never been tried before, and we simply do not have the manpower or capability to provide personal technical, emotional and psychological or most other types of support.

Also, I am not customer service. I do not have access to your personal accounts, so asking me questions about your personal situation or account is not a good use of your time. 

I cannot emphasize the following point enough: 

If you cannot afford to part with your money for a while, or if you cannot help but become very stressed as a result of your investment, DO NOT INVEST!

Why not wait to see what happens through your fellow community members?

If it works out for them, then in a few short weeks or months -- you can try your hand at being a Knowledge Investor too.

FanBox -- and Knowledge Investor - aren't going anywhere. So why not sit this out, and let the others "take the plunge" first?

And for God's sake, if you do invest, please:

1) Invest a VERY SMALL amount, so that (no matter what bad things happen for any reason -- such as payouts taking a few extra hours, or FanBox being down this weekend for a few hours for repairs) you hardly even notice, and 

2) After you invest, take a chill pill and relax. Think of how blessed your life is. Think of how beautiful the birds and the trees are. Think of how much you love your kids, your boyfriend, your ex-wife, your cat.

Thanks for listening.

Like we always do (after every major product launch) I promise you that we'll get through this initial period of uncertainty together...

... and before you know it, we'll all understand how the product works, the bugs will be out, the fear will subside, and we'll all be happy campers again. Cool

You said JC! If you're not 100% confident in FanBox and the new investing feature then DON'T invest...it's when everyone is cashing out their earnings less than 60 days from now is when your mind can be put at ease...until then DON'T stress out Johnny Cash and the rest of the FanBox team!

Good points shared here, Johnny. If a person has any doubts or lack of faith, then they shouldn't participate, at least not until if and when their fears disappear.

You shared some really great advice here JC. Fanbox and the investment application will be around for a long time. If a person wants to test the waters concerning investing, then they should do so and only invest what they are comfortable with.

I know I have my own strategy which will work for me personally. As with all things, take your time and consider the many options before taking the plunge. Only invest what you can afford and are comfortable with.

Again excellent advice!

Investing online is fun, but you need to be extra careful, as a rule in investing...invest only the amount you can afford to lose. :)

Thanks for sharing and you are right, if you are stress don't invest and if you don't try how do you know if it will work for you.

everytime you invest or part ways with your money for while to earn more, you are engaging in business, and in every business there is always that risks of failing, hence your investment does not earn. same here as you invest there are some risks as pointed out by mr JC. you should learn calculated risks before you invest otherwise, invest very little which negligible to you or dont invest at all

It reminds me about a friend who enquired about the fanbox earnings cashout. I said it is 60 days and he said ohhhh!!!

So it is better to invest in small amounts to avoid stress, UNLESS you are +++++confident about the returns.
