Yes there is lot of difference between investing in stock than gambling. The loss or gain in stock depends upon different things like political situation, news, supply and demand etc but it gambling it only depends on your luck.

They are both the same really. Gambling used to be more frowned
upon. Recently with the whole mortgage collapse I don't think many
trust the stock market also. At least if I bet a football game I get
to see what happens and why I won or lost. With the stock market
unless your in it for the long haul its definitely gambling.

I think you don't the meaning of share market investment that's why you telling that investing in share market is guessing game. But real scenario is your buying a business if you don't understand the company business then don't invest in that company. So as per me share market investment for long term is totally different from gambling.
Not everyone buying shares for long term some people just treat it like day trading and nothing special about that. The fast market and high volume is the reason people use it for day trading
What you said is correct, every one want's fast money and at the end who ever goes for these kind of fast money they will end up losing all their money in super fast way. If you check the share market history most of the day traders has lost money but who ever used share market for long term investment tool only made very good profits. So share market is for making profits in long term but not for short term.
But I could clim, gambling would give you more profit in long term persistance along with your gambling skills. Share market is not a guarantee way of making profit in long term, there are many chances that your shares may go to zero value when the company goes bankruptsy.
In my opinion share markets are totally out of our control, but in gambling I feel the ball is still in my court.
Are you sure what you're saying is correct? You can control gambling? Do you know any one or two people who can control gambling?
I think other way round because even though we are not controlling companies but when you put your money in some good reputed companies than surely you will make profits over the time but there is no such guarantee in gambling. You will play only by hoping that you may win but at the end that will not happen for sure

I dont know if you can buy all just one crptocoin and pump it like usual then sell it like it just piece of cake here. Lets say that you can buy all of the X coin then you need to attract people to pump it too follow your stream. If not you will lose this thing and you can't get any profit from it
There are these kinds of pump every day for some coins. But the rise is not sustainable, as it is just a pump and dump. There is intrinsic value of the coins. These coins are just for pump and dump, there is no active development of the coin. There are many people fall into victim.
I am pretty sure nobody falls for these alt coin pump and dumps anymore. There was a time when it was profitable to instamine those coins and if they ever hit a major exchange you could make more money with them than mining BTC directly.

With the share market we are believing some third parties for our profits whereas in gambling, we are relaying on our own skills to make profits. I do believe on my own capability for my fortunes than others.
In stock market, you can rely on professional fund managers to manage the money for you. But those manager on average will be worse off than the index track funds.
In gambling, only very few professional gamblers can make a living. Most of the gamblers can only have fun, not the money.

I don't think one is really dependent on professional to invest money in share market but we need some knowledge of share market and company. I usually invest by myself and overall I made a profit but some of them give me loses and some of them profits. It is the part of share market investment. But gambling needs only luck to win games so both are different.

If know more about company how it works and whether company products got any demand in future than you can decide by yourself after doing some research no need to go to these fund managers but if you do not have that knowledge then we may need these professionals help. Basically when we depends on others than it is not fully safe investment.
I buy shares without any fund managers help because I buy shares of those companies which I know better. Do not follow all these paid tips providers because all those are manipulated tips and you may lose your money

I dont think that fund manager really manage our money well. If I not mistake they will take some percentage right? And you can't fully trust them because we give them our account so they could manage it right? So if they are not trustable it will be bad because they can suddenly scam us and get away all of our money. So it is better to control it by ourselves it is much safer

I think it's a matter of perspective actually. By buying a stock of a company you're putting your money in the hands of the company's board and CEO. If you bet in a sportsbook you just placed your money in the hands of the team and the coaches. Both have risks and rewards, it's just how you look at it.

But I dont think there is much pump of alt coin because you need to choose wisely which one good for pumped. Because the volume of alt coin is very slow up and down just a little raise only except there are big whale pump that altcoin so you will earn it

Share markets are good in long term - passive - some what guaranteed if we choose very good MNCs.
Gambling is only good if you are expert in gambling skills and will be able to actively make big profits even on daily basis.
Both gambling and day-trading are dangerous for beginners.
Learn skills then gamble otherwise invest in share market and wait for long time to make profits passively.

Yes even share market and gambling are compared for many reasons, in my perspective share market is good if you go for long term.
In my friends, many people have achieved big amounts of money from share market for keeping their stocks for around 10 years. But there is no history similar to this from gambling.

I think stock exchange one can make money in the long run but in gambling most likely every one will lose money. What you guys think?
They are both very similar in that if you are disciplined, patient and do your homework you could make long term profits. But most people participants in financial trading/gambling don't do this and don't make long term profits.
I think if your talking about day trading then correct mostly people make a mistake and lose money in share market but if one buy a good company shares then mostly they will make a good profits over the time. But in case of gambling one will either win profits fast or lose every thing at instantly so both are not same.
I disagree, with Poker as you are playing against other players and there is no "house-edge" it is possible (with the right hard work) to be a long term profitable player. Sports betting to a lesser extent offers the same advantages but again requires a huge amount of work.
All other casino games in the long run you are unlikely to be profitable
This is the biggest problem with the addicted gamblers. If any one suggest to find a better ways to invest money and make profit but people like you will not listen and want to try your luck in gambling to make a easy money and you guys will realize when you lose all your money on these gambling games. Good luck with your experiments. I feel share market investments are always better options then gambling.

Stock market is a 0 ending game, if someone wins that means that someone loses also. If you think that the price is reasonable to buy yourself in and you expect the price to go up, someone at the same moment thinks that the price will go down and it's high time to sell. After it, one of them will win and the other has missed the opportunity to win, so it's a loss for him.
Stock market is not a 0 ending game. It is positive sum game. The reason for that is most companies make profit, this money will be paid to investors. The trading cost, tax will reduce the return to investors.
