If you first invest in the low risk/high potential, you can build the wealth from the investment to then also invest in the more risky and costly investment while covering any inconsistency that may result from the risky investment.

As with any investment strategy, there is no one right answer for every investor. If you want to take the chance and throw it all into a risky investment, you may have a substantial payout. You may also lose everything.
