Fundamentals, page-4

No investment is without risk, if AGY was risk free everyone of us would be doing whatever it took to find every possible cent including selling our houses, cars, children, husband, wife and dog to put into this company knowing that the upside would be worth any short-term pain one had to endure - ( I would never sell my dog ).

To deny that there are no risks would surely be naive, the point then becomes to identify and evaluate the potential of the negative downsides to which end I have begun to compile a list of potential risks to consider as a part of a risk management strategy with each one carrying it's own chance of being realised, some small, some, maybe, not so small. I want to understand every potential downside and make the best calculated decision to obtain a secure financial future for me and my family.

The following are just what I have identified and are roughly arranged into order of possibility, feel free to add to or eliminate, I'm keen to hear all possibilities -
