What's the difference between a gambler and an investor?
An investor has a chance in succeeding long term if he keeps doing iy. Not so for the gambler.
>>62497378One is a desperate loser, the other one owner of things.
The odds are in the investor's favor.
No difference. Investors are gamblers with higher risk aversion.
>>62497454This. Investing is gambling on a longer timescale and lower potential payoff. It has better odds, but if you had put all your money in the S&P 500 before the GFC, you'd be waiting 4 years to even get your money back. It's still risky.
If you go to start your own business you have a 25% chance of success. But that's not gambling, that's sexy and really successul attractive men do it.If you get married you have a 50% of success. But that's not gambling because you're supposed to do it, and it's just the normal course of life that you will do it. You're supposed to do this or you're a loser. So it's not gambling.You're 400k in debt for a piece of paper that gives you a 30% chance of getting a job in your field. But that's not gambling because you have to go to college to be successful, everyone knows that. If you don't do it you're stupid.If you have a child in the 21st century there's a 4% chance it will be autistic and a 10% chance they will have a very distasteful personality disorder. But that's not gambling because only the most repugnant incel type doesn't have kids. You're not that, so you're going to have them.If you get a pet there's an 8% chance you will need to shell out tens of thousands for life saving surgery. But that's not gambling because you NEED to have Rex to guard the fort and do diarrhea on your rug because you gave him an unfamiliar sinew treat."Investing" IS gambling. Face it. You're ugly, unlikable, and make the WRONG decisions in your life every single day. No wonder you chose to trade. You'll never achieve what smart, risk aware people do in their lifetimes.
>>62497378You meant to say trader.A trader is not a investor. Not all gamblers are traders but all traders are gamblers.
>>62497378Investors invest defensively, gamblers aggressively
gamblers speculateinvestors hold and compound
>>62497378An investor buys production, owns the product, get to sell it, and has an incentive of keeping the business growing.A gambler buys numbers in their bank app, owns numbers, has nothing to do with the company or the product, and sells the fuck off as soon numbers go up.

>>62497378>what's the difference between a raven and a writing desk?better question, why do you think we should compare 2 completely different things? Is your brain acting up again?
>>62497454saving to gambling is a spectrum
>>62497378A thesis grounded in reality.

>>62497509>If you have a child in the 21st century there's a 4% chance it will be autistic and a 10% chance they will have a very distasteful personality disorder. But that's not gambling because only the most repugnant incel type doesn't have kids. You're not that, so you're going to have them.The child will probably be fine if they're female, or if they're male and the mother isn't dysgenic trash (i.e., not short, good jaw, not of advanced maternal age, etc) and you don't circumcise them.
>>62497378a gambler doesnt have any jewish connections. an investor is friends with kikes who give him insider information to act before the masses
>>62497378An investor is a rich boomerfag with rich parents and that was born in one of the country's most economical prosperous timeline to acquire assets and wealthA gambler is a degenerate poorfag who thinks his last $20 in penisbutt will help him get 7 figures
>>62497454I'm inclined to agree, but that leaves the question, do we know any investors with low risk aversion? and would we call them gamblers.Michael Burry was pretty much all in on one contrarian trade, the Gamestop guy was also deep into one trade and used OTM call options.Not sure i would call either of those gamblers..I think you have to add an element of data, what is the data that support your investment thesis.So it comes out on a spectrum, on the investing end of the spectrum you have concrete and hard information etc. EBITDA, one the other you have weak information etc. saw the rise of meme coins and believed something like Shiba Inu fit the bill for a meme coin.
>>62497378investing has a positive expected return and realized through a qualified understanding of statisticsgambling is everything else and done with gut feelings, maybe with a amateur use of math to fool one's self
>>62498273I agree completely. I stand by my point though that you can take any risk you want, and as long as it involves purchasing a liability, it's not gambling.But as soon as you take even 1% chance of failure to purchase an ASSET? That's gambling.
>>62498479you can invest in bonds, or put your money in a bank CD
>>62497378uninformed trading is gamblinginformed trading is investingthats the actual industry definition
Well you see, an investor is a gambler who made a bad gamble and now has to dca down for weeks, months or years if he hopes to ever break even.
>>62498479michael burry had genius insight and roaring kitty was a genius at using social media to manipulate the market for one smallish market cap heavily shorted stock and then getting away with it because no regulator had ever thought doing something like that was possibleif you go all in puts or all in otm calls on random shit after doing 15 minutes of research you are gamblingburry and kitty both took minutes to research, months to build up their position, months to watch it play out. full port 0dtes is not like either of them
