I think most traders are gambling and fooling themselves that they are not.

Fooled by:
1) randomness
2) Luck

Quote from achilles28:

Profitable trading is analogous to card counting.

Close thread.

+1 but I think ES loves the longevity of his thread, going for a personal best, right? LOL.

Don,

I think that this is a significant issue where traders like to chime in with their views.

I think that you will notice the absence of numerous threads fragmenting the issue and this thread has become the place to weigh in. This serves as a utility to ET...the Internet...the world...and to gawd...

ummm...wait...I am overdoing this...

Have you voted?...

Is acknowledging imminent Death "Not Gambling"

Quote from bln:

Everything is gambling. Then a company launches a new untested product to the market it is gambling. No one knows the future and the outcome.

Then Apple launched the iPod it was gambling, the iPhone, the iPad it was gambling, it could have failed just as much as it could succeed,

Don,

Are you saying you want me to dig up some of my old stuff...no you do not want that...really?...I do not think so.

My past could have been rosier if I had the balls to move to Las Vegas...I really regret that.

Does History or the lack thereof calm or stir the waters of "not gambling"?
