Perhaps there are risks that you SHOULD fear. I'm deathly afraid of putting my entire life's savings on the roulette table. That's a good fear. What you need to do is distinguish the fears that are protecting you from stupid mistakes from the ones that aren't helpful.
I think the best way to overcome fear of something is first to understand it better, and then to test yourself with it. So, if you're afraid of foreign stocks, the first thing you need to do is read up on them, and then secondly take a small bit of money...something that won't make you nervous ...and invest it in something foreign but familiar (say Nokia, for example). In the end, you might make a little, you might lose a little, but you probably won't have made a dramatic shift in your lifestyle over it. You'll find that your worst fears weren't very realistic, and you can move on from that one.
But you should never overcome all your fears. What if you were no longer afraid of jumping off 40 story buildings? That wouldn't be a good thing. You should always be afraid of investing in most penny stocks or commodities you don't have specialized knowledge about. Be very afraid! :) |

Set aside a small amount of money to use for this. Put your other money in safer accounts. |

You don't, it's your intuition telling you not to do this. You should invest at a risk level that you're comfortable with, otherwise you will be stressed out all the time about loosing your money. Over time you may become less risk averse as you slowly increase your investments risks. |

by properly allocating your assets and having a plan. make sure you have enough liquid assets for an emergency(6 months of your bills is a good rule of thumb) then determine what you are saving for. ex, buying a house or car etc..the longer your time horizon, the riskier you can afford to be. retirement dollars should be invested aggressively, short term less so. look at fidelity freedom funds for retirement. its a dynamic allocation model that changes as you get older. you pick a retirement year and they do the rest. good luck |

You have to start small. Like gambling. Start with the quarter slots, then move up to dollars. Eventually, provided you're winning hit the blk. Jack tables. Same thing on Wall Street, but you should have a financial advisor and a broker. Having someone you trust makes anything easier. Nothing wrong with risk, as long as you stay smart and you can afford to lose! |

you don't, fear is what's going to keep your eyes open and your money safe, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of fear when you invest, now if this fear is stopping you from investing, maybe you should look into another kind of business, lets say something less scary |

Robert Kiyosaki says FEAR is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. So investigate your topic, educate yourself. Then at some stage you need to know whether it is fear of investing, or fear of failure that is holding you back.
On the flip side, never invest your bread and butter in risky investments, only something for a bit of extra jam. |

Do your homework, first off. The more you know about an investment, including industry trends, profitability, management, valuation etc., the better you can manage risk. The fear you refer to is natural and indicates a healthy skepticism on your part. Harness that fear as a motivator to learn more. It's like those reading commercials: the more you know, the better you are. Remember to balance the risk in your portfolio, so that you can have one or two riskier investments alongside some safer, more conservative ones. And never invest more than you're comfortable losing, since all investments carry the risk of loss. |
