Trying to achieve money by chance is a very immoral activity.

My guess would be he, as many others, has lost more $$$ in the market the past few years.

It could be he enjoys the "activity" and knows he isn't going to "achieve" a lot of money.

I see nothing wrong with it if you have the money to lose and don't lose more than you can afford. If he considers it entertainment, there are people doing a lot worse.

a lot of people will say that investing in the stock market these days is like gambling :)
