    lol…any time you give money to someone else to manage you are gambling.

    Making a assumption that your money will increase in value over x is (say it eith me) gambling…otherwise why would those guys in suits have disclaimers saying “you may lose money…not all accounts make money…etc…”

    I mean, by all means go ahead, if this makes you happy go right ahead. My point still stands.

      It’s not an assumption, I understand the risks. I know it will go both up and down. That doesn’t make it gambling. What on earth isn’t gambling in your eyes?

        death and taxes. sure bet.

        understanding of risks doesn’t cut the mustard… I understand the house always wins. Understanding the odds in blackjack and understanding the odds in the stock market still makes you a gambler…an informed gambler, but nonetheless a gambler.
