Risk. A lot of people talk about it, but especially in the investment world, I've never found that talk very satisfying.

First of all, how do you, how do I, how do they define risk? What does it even mean to say that's a risky stock?

What does that mean?

Well, about a decade ago I developed a 25-point

risk rating system that we've used at Rule Breaker investing ever since and I defined

that number is itself based on 25 questions asked of the stock.

And you know what?

We're gonna cover the whole thing this week.

Joined by my two friends Alicia Alfieri and Maria Gallagher, we three are going to teach you the entire system.
