We could argue about this all day but I just want to
say 2 last things, trading done properly also requires
research and I'm up over $8,000 on NMGC in the last
two years, compare that to how the longs have done.

Eddie, all forms of investiment involve risk. I would define it as gambling when one makes a decision based upon emotion absent the necessary information to analyse the fundamentals (technical and fundamental) including sector and general market and economic influences.
Trading (day, weekly, monthly, yearly etc....) can be very profitable but I'll assure you it's not based on luck.
Best Regards,

Daytraders are gamblers???

When is the last time you put a bet on the blackjack table, looked at your hand, and decided to take your bet back? Did the casino say anything? The reality with daytrading is if things turn against you, you can bail out. That's not gambling, that's discipline. Much like showering or wiping your ass. Learn it. Do it. Live it.
