>>You seem to confuse gambling with risk. Long term investing is not risk-free, but that does not make it gambling. The longer the investment is held, the more the price will reflect the underlying business, instead of the whims of the moment by a minority of shareholders.<< which in itself is a gamble that underlying fundamentals are good or are getting better. there isn't any confusion. >>Gateway may or may not fail.<< and buying and holding til the end isn't a gamble? gambling is all about risk vs reward. if their is not risk then their is no gamble - its called a sure thing. if their is a risk then you are gambling that the bad end situation doesn't occur - b/c it just might. zenith investors gambled that zenith would turn it around and LOST. just like gambling on three 7s - though the risk reward iwas different. like it or not, at least be honest about it...
