Re: Difference Between Poker and the Stock Market
[ QUOTE ]
There is no comparison. Most investment pros dont play poker and only few poker players are great investors.

i agree with your conclusion that poker and stocks are very different. especially when it comes to investing.
but this statement is very bad proof. just because few participants of game A choose don't play or aren't good at game B, doesn't mean that game A and B aren't similar.
it could mean that the skills and work necessary are different but the structure is similar. or that they are indeed structurally different. but participants of game X which is identifiably structurally different than game Y could be bad at the other or choose not to play it.
the overall point though i agree with b/c the structural basis can be compared and i don't think they are similar for the most part.
