Gambling & smoking limited but not entrepreneurship and stock trading?
zandorg: I see the difference between gambling and stock trading as this: Gambling has a negative long-term percentage, but stock trading is the opposite: a positive long-term percentage.If you gamble at roulette for long enough with any strategy, you'll lost 2.6%.If you play the stock market for that long, again randomly, you'll GAIN 2.6% (just a made up number - it could be 1% depending on the economy).Postscript: At stock trading, like in a casino, you have to make enough to cover the "house cut", which is the fees you pay to brokers to sell and buy stocks (in roulette, it's 2.6%).
