Have I said the good investors don't buy the stocks they believe will do better in the long time? Nope, but do they stop investing during unstable periods? I pretty much doubt it. And again what I said about speculation is that stock trade have a lot of them, you wanting or not, and it isn't even close to lottery, not in the probability of getting right nor in the amount paid back. Your analogy to lottery is as bad as people that say penalty kicks are lottery.

I never said that investors stop investing during unstable periods. It's quite the opposite, the best investors know that a crash is a splendid opportunity to buy. Stock trade has a lot of speculation, but it also has a lot of losers.

Okay, lottery was a bad analogy. Play poker instead.

Yep so we come to agreement that this instability could bring more money to kowen than the calm period, that was my only point.
