Do you consider investing as gambling?

[default]

I feel its no diff. Just another instrument.

The only difference is capital protection more or less, risks more or less

[Arctic]

Yes, it's just calculated gambling

[BuiBuiForeverAlone]

Yes.
High ses= investing
Low ses= gambling

[default]

Actually its rly all the same higher risks higher returns.

If rly want capital protection/preservation will offer nearly minimal to no interest.

Even so, the FI may fold and u also cant get your money back just that MAS protects 25k right

Unless u buy into companies like nvidia long ago but how many similar chip makers out there made so much money?

If u invested into intel which was the biggest u would have been sitting on losses, if u kept thinking they would rebound

Of course there were more "sure" bets like qualcomm. Amd and apple when they were cheap but did u have the holding power?

If u bought bitcoin at $500 u would have let it go at maybe 1k or 2k or 3k. U wont wait until now 80k or more then u say ok ho sey sell now. What makes u think it wont go to 100k, 500k or 1m?

The logic is luck applies to everything

Most people will sell when it hits their price then its time to go back hunting for nxt stock

But nvidia, tesla, bitcoin etc can chiong all the way. How many investors actually profit tonnes from it?

[Suntan]

If invest for dividends, it's not gambling.
Buy constantly buy/sell hoping to make quick buck is.

Hodling means to invest for at least 5 to 10 years. Most people see 10x or 100x returns confirm sell their initial capital and take some profits.

Comes down to luck really. If your stock/crypto is not the chosen one, no chance its price will go x100/x1000.

[Kok loeng]

Yes is gambling

As proven before by Barclay Freddie Mac in this gen

[Magical Fingertip]

Yes it's gambling. If say not gambling means lying
