"But there are those of us that simply believe speculation can be every bit as rewarding, if not more so, than "investing". "I consider them one in the same, truthfully."
I don't think you understand. Speculating and investing CAN NOT be every bit as rewarding. With speculations, one can win/earn more than in simple investing. Conversely, one can lose more too.
"I simply risk less on my speculative investments"
Again, speculations ARE NOT investments. Don't mix the words. They don't belong together, ever.
Where I said, "Investment is a low risk game", you countered with...
"Riiiiight. Like those in AIG, Lehman, GM, etc... all low risk."
Citing exceptions to the rule does not for a good argument make.
