Gambling..is going to some casino..and throwing money at a game. You know the odds, I assume. They aren't good...
Trading stocks...different thing..as you can make the odds in your favor. IF, you know what you are doing.
I live in Oklahoma..
With Indian casino's galore.....Raking in the dough....Been in my Tribe's casino..just to see what it was like. Walked out...never opened my wallet.
Got home that day...and I'd made 3% on my money in the stock market, that day.
Because I know what I'm doing........
OTOH, this stupid man also traded for himself and the STOLE money that belonged to the company he worked for, to "cover" the losses in "his" personal account.
Please explain just WHAT part of the above is SO damned "difficult" to understand.
