Recently I wrote an article what type of investor are you? After spending almost eight years in the financial services industry I have concluded there are basically four types of investors.

Just a heads up, the forum software tends to butcher urls unless you add them as a hyperlink using the toolbar.
I see your point about those four classes, but I think you are missing another big one. I know the 5th exists, because I'm in it! You might want to classify me and others like me as a "some day" investor, but really there is no "some day" in which I plan on being more aggressive. I have a low risk tolerance and invest like someone getting ready to retire. I know I'll never get rich that way, but I'm okay with that. I'm more motivated by not loosing money than by amassing a small fortune.

I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon

Edward,
I agree there are people out there who don't want to lose money, but I guess I can't classify them as investors. Money markets, savings accounts, and CDs are considered savings.

Of your 4 categories, I would have to say I'm a Michael Jordan-style investor. What I really am, though, is a Boglehead investor.
The Boglehead principles are,
- Live Below Your Means
- Asset Allocation (Holding Bonds) Is Essential
- Buy Low Cost Funds that are Widely Diversified
- Tax Efficiency Matters
- Stay the Course
The investment philosophy is,
- Develop a workable plan
- Invest early and often
- Never bear too much or too little risk
- Never try to time the market
- Use index funds when possible
- Keep costs low
- Diversify
- Minimize taxes
- Keep it simple
- Stay the course

There are three main types of investors for startup businesses: friends and family, angel investors and venture capitalists.
