if you were gambling on what some dudes thought about an egg you’d take it a lot less seriously.

I disagree that investing in the stock market is gambling with the caveat that many people treat it like gambling.
What I mean is that boring, defensive trading is a fairly predictable thing. Boring, stable and mature companies are typically safe investments that do grow over time and are a good way to protect yourself against inflation.
The issue is people want to maximize returns, even if expectations are unrealistic, and make risky gambles at unwarranted expected returns. Look at a company’s profit, expenses, history and dont expect the future to be ideal for big returns.

Boring, defensive poker is still gambling.

Interesting in stocks with a one day horizon, you’re right, it’s basically gambling. Over ten years though, different story.
