more like the guy that gets a tip on a penny stock that is 31 cents, invests 50k, then the company goes bankrupt.

I don't see anything low risk in betting a horse to show for a lot of money to make 5%
No really, because the penny stock investment would be speculative in nature, with a much higher upside for being "correct".

It's more like buying $50k worth of Treasuries at 5% and having the American government default 5 minutes later.
