Unlike gambling, trading has no ultimate win or loss, the method of investing consist of having the right mindset and ability to choose the right companies, and reduce your risks. Companies compete with others in the same sector, innovate their products and provide better services, thus leading their stock prices to rise. Why? At the end, good companies will be rewarded!
This, in turn, leads the stockholders of that firm to earn greater profits. Hence, trading is not gambling.

Another Program i attended, MIP, which is also heavily marketed… however, I would say it is still a good program, 50% Motivational 50% Content to learn more about value investing.
