Are there any guarantees in investing?

No, there are no guarantees in investing. Investing involves risk, and the value of investments can rise or fall. There is always the possibility that an investment can lose money or fail to perform as expected. Even socalled "safe" investments like government bonds or FDICinsured bank accounts come with some risk, such as the risk of inflation eroding the value of the investment over time. It is important to do your own research and understand the risks involved before making any investment decisions.
