01. Sorry, I cannot think of an idiom with a compound preposition + 'peace', Yogi. All that comes to mind is 'not at peace (with oneself)'.

thank you MrM,

I think 'not at peace' is what i was looking for.

Could you please give me some more info. about #2?

you are at a risk of losing money - can it be said without "a" preposition?

how do the below sound (in terms of corectness, formality)?

1.You run the risk of losing money
2. You risk losing money.

thank you
