I kind of wonder how much of the money in the "stock market" is really money that's invested in companies based on earnings and potential, and how much is gambling based on guessing investor psychology and market directions. All short selling is gambling, and I think all options are gambling. And I think a fair amount of stock volume is gambling. I'm not really a fan of that, recognizing that I've done a little bit of it myself over time.
