      Relative risk is one more aspect of money management that I would liketo emphasize. Some trades are far riskier than others, yet the profitpotential is about the same. For example, trading GE during a smooth,upward-trending market is a relatively safe trade that I have oftenparticipated in. On the other hand, trading ASND on the same day couldyield the same profit, but when comparing ASND to GE, the volatility andrisk is much greater. Weighing relative risk is a key component ofopportunity cost. Relative risk and opportunity cost are so closely relatedthat it is impossible to separate the two. Always keep opportunity cost vs.relative risk in the front of your mind when making your trading decisions.
