Buffett's older partner, Charlie Munger, is a Harvard Law magna cum laude (class 1948) with 75 years of investing experience. He doesn't invest for "exhilaration."

It doesn't appear that you are heading in that direction, at least not when you blame the "evil bashers" for causing the price to drop of a scam company that issued Death Spiral Toxic Convertible Debt at a 90% discount to the lowest price in a 30 day period....
I think I can beat the odds. If a person can figure out how to do it, they can make a fortune. Yes, it is a gambling mindset to some degree but it also involves strategy, psychology, strong analytical skills, detective work, predictive ability, and emotional stability, and above all - understanding how this market trades in the extreme short term.
I find it exhilarating when it is working right. Awful when it isn't.
