"Having an appetite for risky things is dumb."

Well, I guess that depends on how big an appetite we're talking about. I think perhaps older more experienced people might tend to take less stupid risks. But if you don't take any risks at all you rarely get a big payout.

Perhaps the trend with the more experienced is that they have a better idea how big of a risk they can afford to take (without losing their shirt over the deal if it falls through).
