Haim: I think I've posted this to you before, but here it is again: "Investors are the big gamblers. They make a bet, stay with it, and if it goes wrong, they lose it all." Jesse Livermore Regards, JW

It's not gambling like going to a casino is gambling. As Jerry says, there are times you can tilt the odds in your favour, call it the punter's edge. No guarantees, but it works on the long haul. I've been online investing for 2 years now and after getting my brains beat in for a while, I smartened up and watched how the pros do it. Since then, my financial dreams have all come true and I'll never have to work in a cubicle again. Find the people on the threads who know what they're doing and work hard at it, learn their methods, and you'll be worrying about capital gains problems in no time. You can't take the risk out of it (witness Long term Capital Management), but you can keep the gambling aspect to a minimum. Keep an open mind. CD
