Just means your risk profile is too low. As detailed earlier, the central banks literally don't want you to do the things you were considering doing. Their distortions of the market are not arbitrary.
They want you to make private equity investments (the ones that don't come with hundreds of pages of disclosures), they want you to buy corporate bonds.
They want you to do things that actually put money back into the economy, and give a potentially higher return with a higher risk of loss.
The line between investing and gambling has always been a social construct. You hop into derivatives and even the "positive vs negative expected value" distinction falls apart.
