I meant low risk in the sense of doing some basic homework and investing, and investing in large publicly-traded companies, I consider it low risk compared to everything in startup land. I'm pretty confident I could 10X in 10 years with ~80% probability by investing actively and doing homework.
Joining a startup is extremely high risk from an opportunity cost standpoint. Literally any profitable company's stock is low-risk in comparison.
But ... if you don't want to do homework, you could just buy a smattering an equal distribution of the biggest names in tech (MSFT, NVDA, AAPL, GOOG, META, TSLA, etc.) and you would have easily gotten 25-37% pa averaged over the past 10 years. It's highly unlikely all these companies suddenly fail, all together.
And if you want to protect yourself against that, write covered calls at ~15-20% per week and use the proceeds to buy protective puts on all of your stocks.
