Trading is gambling.
No, it's not. You can say it's as risky as gambling but not that it's the same thing as gambling. In gambling, there's no exchange of something for something but that's what we've in trading – one item is exchanged for another in price expectations.
That is the key to profit from this industry, while the fools believe it's possible to make a living from day trade.
Oh, really? Is that your perception of traders? Anyway, I won't even try to dissuade you out of that mindset.
The market is just too volatile to be predicted accurately, that is why I consider it to be gambling.
I've explained that above, in the first comment. However, it's worthy to note that there's no business without its own type of risk. Even when you go into dealership or car rentals, or the old fashioned buying and selling of food stuff, there are risk associated with all that too. Every business, no matter how easy you think it's, has its risk.
