Is not everything we do a gamble then? There is no 100% certainty to anything we do, nothing. Eating, might choke. Breathing, might just stop suddenly. Go to work, crash instead.
I wouldnāt call any of these activities a āgambleā.

I think people were getting a bit too caught up on the wording of āgambleā.
Itās like that word strikes fear into everyone, like itās a bad topic that should be shunned in forums like this. All I was getting at, was there is definite outcomes of uncertainty in trading stocks - and that element of it, is essentially a gamble whether it pays off or doesnāt. If you can actively increase your edge, be it TA / Macro approach / MMT / whatever - then your reducing the overall risk; ie: gamble of the trade.
Some ppl just jump straight in saying āwell itās always gone up, so it always willā. And it might, but I think that mindset isnāt so much as investing, but more on the side of gambling.
100% disclosure though, I may be wrong and if I am - it wouldnāt be the first time

With the football grounds closed iāve put around 1. 8k in for buying shares, far more than i first envisioned, but with me away from the pubs as well then my measly wages have helped but the 6% return (- future tax on sale) is better than any savings account.

What did you buy for that 6% return?
thankfully the rough poll I made around post12 has gotten more responses, due to the anonymous and vague nature of the slices 
sums up nicely how many people have been able to put aside funds for their future despite the ongoing madness in the world at large.
If I assume the last band is 150K-300K based on our small sample size average investment size is = 21577
Thats a killing mate. Very Impressive.
Good timing on CIIC - was that before or after the rumours?
