Risk exists on a spectrum. US Treasury Bonds would be about the lowest risk asset you can invest in, but there's always risk at some level that the dipshit Republicans in Congress finally manage to blow up the bond market.

A healthy economy has a good mix of creation of new businesses, destruction of inefficient businesses, and retention of businesses that are well run. The family run corner grocery store may just not need to grow and change much.
