So it's OK to lose all your money gambling, but it's not OK to lose all your money trading?????
Only in America.
Liberty and security rest on opposite sides of a scale. The more you have of one, the less you have of another.Ignored
You really think that "trading" with 100-1 leverage is better than playing $1/$2 Texas Hold'em? Give me a break...
You're kidding yourself if you don't think a person can lose all their money playing the forex market at 50-1 leverage. In fact, I think I 'd have a better chance of making a 100% return playing poker than playing the forex market at 50-1 leverage... not even close which one I think would be more profitable for me...
Sadly us online poker players lost our ability to play in 2006 during a back-room deal in Congress signed by George W Bush as part of a budget bill. If you don't believe me, look up the UIGEA (The Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act).
So you know what -- Go Barney Frank -- I'm all for sensible legislation and legalizing online poker is certainly that.
