Gambling? The odds are always in favor of the gambling house. You can't do anything about their odds which ensure that you lose nearly 100% of the time.

There is a lot that you can do in the market where the odds are technically in your favor AND you can adjust the number with your own behavior to manage risk, further bettering your odds.

All of this is well known and provable. Spreading FUD about the market is a great way to keep people poor, indignant and suffering a lack of freedom.



If you're making a play with a small chance of huge upside, but a big chance of losing, most people colloquially call that "gambling".


The stock market requires someone to fail for someone else to win, the moneys gotta come from somewhere. People who are poor, indignant, and suffering will just be more fodder for those who’ve already won.
