Matt's thoughts on investing in emerging industries
Investing in emerging industries requires understanding that both outsized gains and losses are possible. Hype can cause stock prices to soar, while losses can mount if you buy in at peak excitement and the industry soon falls out of favor. Before investing, do your research and consider the legitimate potential of the new industry, taking a long-term view as you do. Consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to mitigate risk through diversification and gain exposure to all key players in the space.
