# Informed Investors are More Disciplined Investors

The reason we think it's worthwhile for you to learn a little bit about risk-management is that informed investors are more disciplined investors.

The nature of financial markets is such that their is always an investment that looks much better in hindsight. This makes sticking to a diversified risk-managed portfolio strategy difficult. Over the short-run, being fully in the market, or fully out of the market is surely better. The benefits of risk-management only accrue over the long run.

Learning a little bit about risk-management and its trade-offs will help you deal with short-run regrets, and thrive in the long run.
