Should I gamble?

I also think that many investors are going to be willing to gamble for those real high returns.

Eric - yes I get that gambling vision when I see the avatar....but to the question...I am also a realtor and my pic is on my card.

Sometimes bank statements may indicate gambling problems or other traits you might not like in a tenant.

FacebookESPN Sports Center - set up notifications for all your favorite teams.

You state one should not invest in the stock market because you consider it gambling and too reliant on others to determine your future.

While you have a bidding war to lose, you also could potentially lose a good bit of upside if the market drops between now and Spring.If gambling and trying to time the market is something you want to try, I recommend you hold off until next winter after the election, hope that there is a major change in which parties are elected, and then take advantage of the influx of new politicians and their staffs to DC (who will be looking for places to live).Of course, I believe that's a bad decision as well.

@Nathan - putting your money with Fedelity is a gamble and you could loose it like many have.
