Default Re: Why good poker players make good investors.

Trading is much more like poker/gambling than investing is. People on this board sometimes don't seem to realize that trading and investing are not even remotely the same thing. And within the 2 groups there are many many kinds of trading and investing.

you are right obviously about the different kinds of invetsing/trading. i do buffett/graham style value investing which would probably be considered much less like gambling than most kinds of investing and trading but i still think that the basic thought processes are pretty much the same in value investing and gambling and i think it has helped me as an investor to have learned poker/gambling.
