Investing, like gambling, carries a degree of risk. Therefore, the golden rule of "never risk more than you can afford to lose" applies to both activities. Gambling is less risky because it's just a game, and the impact won't extend beyond the player's situation. However, in investing, losses can be catastrophic if skill, market research, and accurate and professional data analysis are not taken into account. I've personally had some rather bad experiences, and I hope no one else makes the same mistakes I did.

Just because of the risk benchmark equating investment with gambling I think it's a little too far because after all we must be aware that risk is not only in investment or gambling but also from all aspects that we do such as when doing work or doing business all have risks so I disagree if you say investment is like gambling because both are 2 different elements.

We know that gambling is still centered on luck as an initial benchmark but of course investing is not like that because we don't expect luck but indeed this is purely from the skill to dare to take action for the long term and this is not gambling even though there is a risk because we rely on the process and progress in contrast to gambling where luck is always a thing that cannot be changed which in the end most likely will only lose compared to profit.

I said that investing is similar to gambling in that it involves a certain degree of risk. I differentiate between gambling, which is a recreational activity that can become a behavioral addiction, and investing, which is a productive practice in which the risk level can be reduced depending on the individual investor's skills, his ability to develop a realistic business plan, and his readiness to work towards it later. Please don't interpret my words with ideas I didn't intend. I believe my meaning is clear and does not require much interpretation.
