Greatly explained the difference that so often comes up. Trading and gambling are just 2 vastly separate and different fields. Trading requires the traders to work so that the odds become increasingly in his favor. But in gambling your hands are tied, whenever someone finds any edge or hack in a casino, it soon gets caught and causes the gambler to lose it all. Trading if done properly with right research, knowledge and management is a great and probably the most lucrative and clean business on earth.
Did you really spend all this time and efforts to choose a TV ???? How many hours did all of this take?
Research done online fairly quickly. Driving to the store to actually see the TV in person took a little more time except for the last store. That one I got in some exercise because I used my bike to get there.
I'd say it's gambling for most, but there's people on 'the inside' who have access to information that tells them exactly where the markets going!
Man, I'm so agree with this. This is what makes us a trader, not a gambler. Cuz we analyze the market before entering an order, we manage our money so we don't risk much to it...
There is a certain percentage of excitement, of course, in this, but I would not say that this is 100% true.
