The Stock Market is Not a Casino - Lessons From the Gamestock Story

When investing in a stock based on subjective criteria such as someones’ opinion, hunch or expectation of the near future - you are playing the odds very similarly to a gambler in the casino.


Occasionally, you win big. But it is well known that in the end, the house always wins.

As demonstrated by the Gamestop scandal, investing in a single stock is a tricky and treacherous path.


The stock market is not a casino. One major difference - in a casino you are not allowed to analyze past behaviour (such as counting cards to forecast their occurrence) so as to maintain luck as the one major factor in your performance.


Luckily, you have no such limitation when it comes to investing. In fact, when it comes to stocks, analysis of past behaviour can help substantially mitigate the risk.



Another obvious way of mitigating the risk is investing in more than one stock.

But as long as you select all of them in the same subjective manner and as long as you do not examine the relationship (covariance and correlation) between your assets, the mitigation of risk will still be haphazard and luck will still play a much bigger role that is desired.
