Re: Is there a difference between buying shares in the stock exchange and gambling?

Buying shares of stock is just another form of gambling disguised as investing. The only difference is that you can do some research into your purchase to determine if that is a good idea to make the purchase. The only real difference is that you can look into your "investment" to see if you think you are making a good bet.

Even then, with research you are still only guessing that the price goes up, or that you are buying at a low price, it is just a form of gambling

I think you don't the meaning of share market investment that's why you telling that investing in share market is guessing game. But real scenario is your buying a business if you don't understand the company business then don't invest in that company. So as per me share market investment for long term is totally different from gambling.

So I am guessing you are extremely rich from this, like millions because if you are able to do this you should have no problem repeating it. No?

I dont think you need to be rich to buy some stocks or share? You can buy little by little right? Because this is long term investment so if you buy that many too in the end you will sell it too to get some profit. It has nothing to do with you become rich then you can buying stocks

You only need to be rich in order to move the market in the way you want it to go, for this you need really much money. But if you want to drive the market you don't need to buy or sell shares in big but need to manipulate the news and the press

But if you want to trade on forex market, that's impossible, forex market is way too big to manipulate anything

Yes it is true, you can manipulate the market price if you have a lot of cash but I dont think everyone will have this power to change the market like they want. Most people not daring to make some manipulation on bitcoin because of the price is too volatile
