• Volatility: The value of financial assets can fluctuate rapidly, and it's important to understand that online investment comes with inherent market risks. It's crucial to conduct thorough research and have a long-term investment strategy in place to mitigate potential losses.
• 
  
• Security: While reputable online investment platforms prioritize security measures, it's essential to be cautious and ensure the platform you choose has robust security protocols to protect your personal information and investments.
