OP investment is different from gambling it is only in gambling you gamble what you can afford to lose so that you will not be disappointed in investment you don't have to worry because your funds never lost. And all what you have to do is to plan your investment very well. Either long term or short term. If it is short term den go make some survey for the movement of di price so dat you no go go invest when di price dey come down but it is good to invest when di price e dey di dip and once im go up X3 or more of your investment den you sell it. But if na long term investment then you don't have to worry for anything just be buying until di time you like to sell. So I don't see any lose in investment but in trading and gambling should be what you mean.
