For individual investors who are in the lucky position to be able to save money every year, one way to experience the thrill is to set aside a (small) fixed share of those annual savings for impulsive, risky bets.

- wombatmobile 5y ago> It's a shame our culture isn't very honest about this fact. That's an interesting choice of words - "honest". What is "our culture"? Is it the social relations that occur between people? The books, the plays, the literature? The songs, the music? The customs that date back to the founding of the nation? The politness? The assumptions? The courtesies? The fashions? The engineering achievements? The political framework? Or is it what we see on screens? The problem with what we see on screens, even when it is any or all of the above, is that screens are powered by advertising.
