  1. The video doesn't strike me as particularly original or clever.

  3. I think it's interesting how some traders refuse to accept that trading, by definition, is a form of gambling, in that it is betting on an uncertain outcome. The true definition of gambling does not specify whether the odds are in your favor or not, so that is not the point of distinction. And I would hate to think what will eventually happen to the people who do not acknowledge the element of uncertainty...
