True, investing and gambling are two completely differen things, but they both include some level of risk and decision-making, notably the danger of losing money in the future. Diversification is one of the most important ldistinctions between investing and gambling. ç
Investing allows you to diversify your risk across all asset classes, whereas gambt lers put all of their money into a single pot with no risk management in place. With this, you can easily distinguish a trader from a gambler.
This is the reason why traders succeed more than gamblers. Traders are focused more on technicals and fundamentals that becomes the bases for their decision making while gamblers stick to pure luck and and create decisions without solid bases and established analysis.
