One, the stock is a kind of investment, gambling is only a kind of consumption

Whether you buy a lottery ticket or enter what kind of gambling, in fact, consumers just choose a spiritual consumption, get a kind of dream experience of the prize money and chips, to measure the value of this kind of consumption, and whether or not to "win the lottery" or win the game The reason for this is that people who choose to spend money on this kind of thing will take it as a surprise that they don't win the lottery, which is what they should do.

Buying stocks is completely different, you need to pay attention to at least the company you buy belongs to what industry, what is doing, whether it is profitable, whether there is a dividend and so on, even if it is stupid, you have to look for those who are easy to let the "fools" look at the stock, which shows that buying stocks is not a consumer experience, but a clearer goal of the The need for "guaranteed appreciation" is much clearer.

Two, casinos and stock exchanges have different profit models

Casinos make their profits from direct betting with "gamblers", and the vast majority of casino games have rules that make the payout to participants less than 1 (the casino has an advantage over the gambler), so only the casino proprietor wins in the long run, creating huge excess profits. creating huge excess profits.

Many casinos, in order to attract "customers", even offer ultra-low-cost hotels, free meals, transportation and cabaret services, and are open 24 hours a day, decorated in a magnificent manner and "out of sight" to stimulate the "gambler". "Gamblers" desire and "impromptu consumption". The ultimate goal of all types of marketing and design of casinos is to stimulate the unlimited greed, desire and hedonism of the "gambler".

The stock exchange, on the other hand, is a platform organization that does not aim at making profits. Its operating expenses come from the membership fees, seat fees, account opening fees, etc., paid by the brokerage firms on a regular basis, and each institutional investor pays a certain amount of money when using the facilities of the stock exchange, which is the guarantee for the operation of the exchange.

The exchanges are not designed to stimulate the "trading mood" of shareholders and inspire greed and desire, but more to give the market rationality.

Even securities firms, for example, rely mainly on brokerage business, not on shareholders' losses. In contrast to the stock exchange, the interests of the casino and the interests of the "gamblers" are often opposed.

Three, gambling mainly rely on luck, the stock market mainly rely on technology

This is the most controversial, many people certainly think that gambling is also rely on technology, the stock market also have to rely on luck, in fact, this is only a plausible subjective feeling, and does not meet the objective logic.

Most gambling amounts to taking chips and betting on the cards drawn or the colors rolled to win or lose, and at a time that is beyond the control of the participant.

You can't wait years after betting on a game at a casino, but if you buy a stock, you can hold it for a day or five years.

That is to say, in a casino, there is little room left for maneuver and almost no room to think before placing a bet.

The stock market has more options, both in terms of the huge number of listed companies and the various types of stock market-based fund products, giving investors more choice and more room for maneuver.

How to pick and treat a stock, investors have enough time to think, and thus need to have their own judgment and level of knowledge, which is an important difference with a single and high-frequency betting pattern.

If you only invest in the stock market once, it may be by luck indeed, but if you want to invest in the stock market for a long time, you have to rely on "skill".

Speculative trading rules

The number of shares bought and sold is also subject to certain regulations: the number of shares entrusted to buy must be an integer multiple of one hand (100 shares per hand), but the number of shares entrusted to sell can be an integer multiple of less than 100. The buy or sell price must be in the range of 10% above or below yesterday's closing price to be valid.

Stock trading is price-first, time-first: the stock continuous bidding session, because many investors may buy and sell the same stock at the same time, so the exchange has established the "price-first, time-first" principle.

Such as a stock is now priced at $5.66, if investor A enters a buy price of $5.66, and investor B enters a buy price of $5.67 at the same time, then investor B's declaration takes precedence over investor A's declaration of the transaction. If everyone declared the same buy price, who first entered the buy order who first closed. The same is true for selling stocks. If the current price of a stock is $5.66, and A enters a sell price of $5.66 while B enters a sell price of $5.65, then B's declaration takes precedence over A's declaration.

If A and B enter the same selling price, who declared first who first sold. This situation is more prominent when a stock price suddenly rises or suddenly dips rapidly.
