Investing in the stock market isn't gambling. The shit you see posted in this sub is definitely gambling. They are very different things.

Investing anything of monetary value with no assurance that you will gain anything is gambling.
You are investing in hopes you cash out big time, but since it can go both ways and you are never 100% guaranteed. It's gambling ^^

Exactly. Unless you have some insider information, you won’t actually know what’s gonna happen.

Investing in a globally diversified ETFs is hardly gambling. I agree that there are no guarantees so, by your very broad definition, I suppose it is "gambling".
That said, I'd you don't see the difference between investing in the broad global economy and the shit that WSB does then you need some help.

Yeah, me, a person who would never take such huge risks needs help. Not you guys in this sub losing thousands a day. Thanks for your input. I defined gambling as is. Betting money on an uncertain outcome. If you disagree with that, idk cope?

Note that I specifically said globally diversified ETFs, which is definitively not what this sub does.
But yeah, if that sounds too dangerous to you then you should probably do some learnin' because money in your mattress comes with its own set of risks.
