Why share trading is considered a gamble?

[Sanjeev]

Most of the people dont see share trading as a work but a gamble. It may be because where your money is at risk is a gamble. What do you say? Do you also consider it a gamble or a work?

I do think it is one the risky ideas to join in. But if you are an expert in trading, then there is nothing to worry about.

I'm not going to call it a gambling provided you are able to carry out proper research on the shares to buy.

There are a lot of persons who sees or considers trading in general as gambling, due to the fact that it is risky as well and anything can happen to your capital. But one major difference between gambling and trading is that when it comes to trading, there are actually strategies you can follow.

I too consider trading as gambling. This is because trading is very risky and sometimes depends on one's luck to succeed with it.
However most people have lost their capital with it.

Share trading is not gamble at all. It is a full market that tends to offer investment opportunities and the performance of shares depend on the performance the company associated with the share.

The only kind of trading that I know about is cryptocurrency trading and forex trading and both of them are very technical that you cannot jump inside without having the knowledge otherwise you would lose your money.

Every investment is a gamble because the chance of success and failure is 50-50 possibility. Though buying shares is a gamble that is properly researched and the chance of losing your capital is not less than with gambling.

Most of the people dont see share trading as a work but a gamble. It may be because where your money is at risk is a gamble. What do you say? Do you also consider it a gamble or a work?

I think it is a work but the person needs to be very smart about it

I wouldn't consider a share as a gamble because it is an investment.
