Which one gives me the highest returns? Anytime there\u2019s high return, it also means that there is high risk. Anytime anybody proposes an investment solution and they say that the risk is low but the return is high, please look for the exit door and run as fast as you can.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on JoyFM\u2019s Super Morning Show, Mr Ogbarmey Tetteh also stated lovers of high returns should be ready for the outcome of their investments because they come with very high risks.<\/p>\n Mr Ogbarmey Tetteh also advised that it is important one assess his or her risk tolerance levels before making any investment.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, what many people do is a mistake.
