Jeremy-Very informative and important info for the PF site reader. Get ready for some BIG TIME INFLATION. It is hitting hard at the pump and the grocery and with commodity prices soaring, there’s not going to be an “inflation-free” zone!

For completeness, I would also include liquidity risk – the risk that there is a gap between the bidding price and the asking price. For most investors this only is apparent in their home cost (You think your home is worth x, but the buyers have a lower value in mind). The 10% penalty charged for tapping your 401K prior to 59 1/2 can also be thought of as a liquidity charge. Slightly more sophisticated investors might see this in option prices, private placement bonds, surrender charges on insurance products, and anything “exotic”. In truth, we are all exposed to this risk within our mutual and bonds funds, we just rarely see it.

Excellently put. Risk is definitely not limited to just market fluctuations. There are so many sources of risk that to focus on just one seems incredibly unwise. The fact you could be losing purchasing power when the interest rate and inflation rate are both high (because of taxes on the interest) to me really emphasizes the problem with seeing certain investments as “completely safe.”
