My perception of investing as gambling applies to all stocks. Badrguy stated that someone like Buffett may not consider it gambling. If Buffett buys a company, he is betting on the actual company. Small investors are betting on the perceived price of a company's stock, which, most of the time has nothing to do with actual value or reality, but the psychology of individuals.
