Investing in any stock is gambling, plain and simple. The only difference is your risk tolerance.

- camjohnson26 6y agoGambling is when you take big risks with hope for a big payoff. It’s possible to invest in the stock market and limit risk by diversifying and hedging positions, but how many meme stock investors are doing that? It’s much more likely to see people yoloing their life savings on Tesla or GME and hoping to retire from the windfall. Not going to be pretty if stocks ever go down again.
