Is investing in the stock market gambling?

Is playing poker much different than investing in the stock market?

Poker is totally different then playing the stock market. First of all when playing the stock market...the market is the reason that your going to lose money and the decisions that are made in this world. You could lose all of your money in the stock market because you slept in one morning and didn't check the stocks. While poker you also control how much your willing to lose but the end result is totally random and you or anyone else has any control on what cards are going to be flipped. The stock market there are a board of directors or Alan Greenspan making the decisions that affect your money and it is very rarely random.
