Trading and Gambling are both same for me, as both are risky and waste of time, both involves risk of your money, which you can loose at any stage, so its better to stay away from both.
In your opinion it is the same because it involves both of money, but if you you think the possible result of this two in the end. The one is no assurance for profit and in the end the result is nothing while the one is chances of profit, both of this need to spend a lot of time but if you focus on trading you will get a profit it is because you only need is to wait the right time for the right price. You lose in trading if you stop while in gambling you lose if you don't stop.
agrreed money and risk is not the based to consider both the same .Althoush they are more likely but actually different in terms of profit and by using skills which we can see its more productive to earn in trading unlike gambling.
