Hello! I’m new to fishbowl and wanted to make my first post. I’m currently in the process of transitioning out of the Air Force and looking for a skillbridge opportunity in project management, preferably located in Tampa, Florida. A few companies I have on my list are Accenture, Raytheon Technologies Corporation and JPMorgan Chase What are everyone’s thoughts on those companies and how military friendly they really are?
Guys what we receive in KIT from VOIS

Changed lanes yesterday that was moving faster…and it continued to move faster after I stepped into it. So yeah.. high risks can pay high rewards.
If high risk automatically gave you higher returns, it wouldn’t be high risk.

I put $5 on one roulette number. Didn’t work out. Unless you have money to lose high risk bets aren’t a good investment. The only way PE firms make money is by making 100 bets and hoping that one wipes out the losses in the other 99. Making one high risk bet is stupid.
PE =\= VC. PE is about calculated risk and creating value from financial engineering and/or actual operational improvement.
VC, agreed in general but probably more visible in early stage / seed vs. growth equity or later stage
If you told us the nature of your bet we could help advise. Also ask yourself - Why did you buy it? What needs to be true to make a return? How likely is that event in the time horizon you need based on what you know now? Are you just scared bc the market is going down? Can you wait out until next bull market? Will it even be around then? Is it crypto??
It sounds like you don’t actually have the mindset for gambling (which is fine!)
You’re better off sticking to ETFs and set it and forget it.

3.5 years ago I started HEDGEFUNDIE’s Excellent Adventure which aimed to turn $100k into $10M over 20 years. It hit a high of $300k last year but is now back down to $100k
