I have interest in discussing this any more, you obviously have no statistical background, no understanding of probabilities, "expected value" or game theory. And your understanding of the market seems lacking also, apparently not comprehending that the market has risen 12% a year on average. Actually I'd suggest you not put money into a bank, you won't get 3% interest, rather it's probably a negative outcome also, with ATM fees, monthly checking charges, etc. Just put your money under a mattress and see how positive that outcome is in 20 years factoring in inflation. I'm through discussing this ....

May I comment on the discussion ref net+/-?

Could it be one of you is looking at the MONEY involved - a net + as the market averages on the + side - and the other is looking at the NUMBER OF PLAYERS and the % of them that win or loose?
