I may get flamed here, but investing IS NOT, repeat IS NOT gambling.

--although that's a fondly held belief of those that like gambling and are clueless w/ investing. Sometimes gamblers try their addiction in the financial markets and they may even call themselves 'day traders'. They're not. Gambling addict's bottom out and stop --one way or the other. Real day traders who endure (and there are many) are those that know what they're doing and provide a needed service.
