Today, investors are at a crossroads between seeking safety and seeking growth. While the world is looking increasingly volatile, thereby making downside protection something that's necessary to have, it's also true that there's an abundance of very lucrative opportunities that will play out over the coming years, and missing out on them as a result of playing it safe is likely to hurt.
