Disliked{quote} for argument sake, so on a 1-10 scale if Blackjack is 9-10, where would you place lottery or slot machines? on the other end of the spectrum, real estate is far from the safest, surely a lot of ppl has learnt that on the hard way, for example in 2008... not to mention that 200$ wont start you with more than a dozen bricks, or a decent mailbox. APPL shares had huge meltdown recently, and it isnt a biotech pharma penny stock...imagine that move with a leveraged position? on the other hand, take any forex trade with zero leverage and your account...Ignored
I had been in this field since 2008 funnily. I can bet that if i invest all the moneys i lost here in forex and simply put it on real estate, i would have been 2-3 times richer. So from a 5-6 to a 3-4 in this case.
On the other hand, if i had invested all my moneys into roulette and blackjack, i would have been 3-4 times poorer. So from a 5-6 to 9-10. Does that make sense to anyone?
