On the High Seas

Faced with choppy waters, what seafarer wouldn’t prefer to cruise aboard a massive, stable, luxury liner? Sipping cocktails and playing shuffleboard on deck as a wave-busting ocean liner rips through volatile waves as though they didn’t exist?

What captures our fancy at FQ, however, are the tough and sturdy rescue craft built to withstand deep-sea battering over time. Dispatched to stormy seas, these valiant dinghies are tasked with performing harrowing recoveries from churning waters.
We, too, cull results from stormy seas. We call it profit. We earn our living knocking about in the waves. But in our profession, waves are called market volatility.

Investment is all about the reward you earn for taking risk. There is less to be gained when you treat choppy waters as an annoyance to be avoided. There’s more upside, even if you get jostled and soaked, on a nimble craft expertly captained to pluck treasure from dark waters.
