  5. Michael....How could you even ask such a question? (Or did you forget April Fools Day was last month? Then again, you're just bored down there in AZ and trolling everyone for a laugh?)

    Of course trading is not gambling. Anyone who believes trading IS gambling, should stop trading immediately! (Gambling is for fools, looking for a thrill.)
