One aspect of this human complexity is the ego need to be right in one's analysis. This need is real, though often not consciously felt. This results is a staunch belief in one's analysis, and thus a dogged determination to 'ride it out'...

Sifu's is right... As long as one realises (acknowledges) that one is betting, one should be safe, since one will be fully conscious of this fact, and behave and act rationally. But the sad fact is stocks is a complex game involving equally complex human factors (arising out of ego). One needs to be a 'super-hero' of sorts to consciously master such a complex beast as the human... lol...  ..

Sifu is right in his own sense, all is considered betting.. but how do one bet in the stock market, so that he can minimized his losses and keep his gains intact? that's when calculated risk betting comes in..

You're trying to imply: " regardless of the time frame, going to the casino is consider an investment as long as you make money and starting a business / partner is also consider betting as long as you lose money" ? Hmm...I can see where you came from and why you said that. But, why the GLC & Temasek didn't borrow shares to short the markets since they are able to do so with so many experts around?

But what about those who bought their shares and which have dropped to half-price or less? In those cases, the descendants will inheriting less money (in case they die due to huge losses in averaging down)? In any case, shorting in a long bear market IS an ivestment (ie. make money). Just like buying in a prolonged bear market is suicidal. But then, in stocks, all is betting, regardless of time frame ...

the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an intraday low of about 10,360. On Friday, the markets soared as high as 11,750 -- a 13% leap in two weeks. A strong rally is a great thing to see after the volatility of the summer, but you have to wonder if this is too much too fast. Even if the euro zone debt deal is approved and enacted -- which is anything but a sure thing in the wake of the Slovakia politicking and continued protests in Greece -- it seems a bit unrealistic for the market to rally further. After all, it's not like austerity agreements mean growth in the euro zone. Far from it. As government jobs are eliminated and taxes are increased, the economy of Europe is going to feel the burn. Elsewhere in the world, it's also bleak. Persistent unemployment remains a big problem in America and inflation is eating away at consumer budgets . While fears of a " hard landing" in China might be overstated, the reality is that China is indeed slowing down . Brazil is crippled by inflation. The list of macro concerns is long and ugly. Worse, for those who think that there's no rhyme or reason to this and it's a mostly chart-driven market, the technicals are looking pretty poor right now too. On Wendesday the S& P 500 reversed at 1,230, which exactly matches the high of Aug. 31 - and though we broke through it today, the market seems reluctant to move much higher. The VIX is once again breaking into the mid-30s and most technical analysis shows a clear " sell" signal . The best-case scenario is that an accord already is baked into the market with the recent optimism. European leaders will hug it out during the weekend at the European Council in Brussels over their so-called " comprehensive" plan, and final adoption of the proposed deal could take place among EU leaders early next week. But is that worth another 13% up from here? Another 5% Another gain at all? Yes, earnings from some big-name stocks were good, so maybe some of these gains will stick. But a more likely scenario is that waffling among European leadership reignites panic, or that Wall Street decides the vaunted plan still might not be enough to cut it. |

Well, there are big differences between betting and investing.......... shorting can't be investing as you can't hold your trade forever and pass it on to your grandson but longing can, as long as the counter still exist in times. Its just like robbers cannot survive forever.
