I don't believe you read my post very well, but ok....
You say an investor is not gambling, but "investing" which I find funny. Do you make a contract with the company that states you will recieve a certain amount of increase on your investment? I think not. Don't know who you've talked to, but anyone who knows he markets will tell you that there is always a gamble involved, it is mearly up to us to limit our amount of exposure to that gamble.
Whats interesting is that you try to equate an individual with a signed contract that promises a certain amount of compensation for a certain amount of services or labor, with someone who gives a company money, with no contract, no promise, no anything, that says they will even get that money back, ever. So in review, we have employees with contracts, and people throwing money at a company assuming it will grow.... Tell me how this is the same again?
