Yes, I agree. because when you make a stock market investment, you acquire a portion of the firm you are buying.You acquire a portion of ownership in the company you invest in on the stock market. The worth of your investment may rise as the business expands and makes money. In gambling, there is no ownership or long-term value involved; you are merely placing a wager on how an event will turn out. Both of them just require taking a risk and it is a matter of decision.Nala262 wrote: Wed Oct 04, 2023 11:26 pm How many times during a discussion about finances have you heard someone say, "Investing in the stock market is just like gambling at a casino"?
True, investing and gambling both involve risk and choice—specifically, the risk of capital with hopes of future profit. But gambling is typically a short-lived activity, while equities investing can last a lifetime. Also, there is a negative expected return to gamblers, on average and over the long run. On the other hand, investing in the stock market typically carries with it a positive expected return on average over the long run.
