This isn't an argument, this is you showing everyone how deluded you are. We've told you that your gambling and you've just stuck your fingers in your ears and shouted 'na na na na na'.
:D Congratulations you're the first risk-free investor the world has ever seen. Write a book, you'll make millions (guaranteed), telling the stupids how easy it is to make money with NO CHANCE of failure. I think Bozza now knows WHY you don't understand.

If it's such a...
I don't think so, Mr Hut. To think of all that finger-wagging you've done about gambling int he past only for you to come on here and promote dabbling in the stock market. Shame on you.
