Re: Difference Between Poker and the Stock Market
I don't see the Poker equivalent of Margin. Sure, you can get staked, but, it's not quite the same. With Margin, the brokerage firm's money is not at risk, as they'll sell the stock long before their money starts disappearing. In addition, you can't get into trouble with margin because you can only lose your money, albeit twice as fast*.
* This wasn't true in the pre-depression days when you could borrow up to 90% of the purchase price.
