213 - Wall Street only ever makes money, and never looses it. All that stuff about the value of investments having the risk of going down as well as up is obviously just so much rubbish...

This is actually true in most cases. The entire Wall Street tends to make money. That is why the stock exchange (NASDAQ, NIKKEI, etc.) indexes keep going up and up, with the sole exception of a GFC or the like.

It is individual stocks and investments that might lose you money.

The Civ4 NW is not a single investment

Hence, diversify your shares portfolio!
