<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1224420, member: 26302&quot;]I understand where you are going with that thought, but to me, (without any bad connotations to words):</p><p><br /></p><p>Investing - Understanding a market and putting money in with the expectation of growth that will yield increased returns</p><p><br /></p><p>Speculating - Intelligently buying an asset believing it will be worth more at some point in time</p><p><br /></p><p>Gambling - Blindly buying an asset with little information hoping it goes up</p><p><br /></p><p>To me a lot of &quot;investing&quot; and &quot;speculating&quot; is really gambling, the line between them is level of education and understanding of the markets. This is what I am trying to say I guess. If you wish to put &quot;investing&quot; and &quot;speculating&quot; into the same boat because of some connotations &quot;speculating&quot; can have, that is fine. To me they are both worthwhile ways to use money intelligently, with the alternative of blindly buying in either case is really gambling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
