Hey thought I'd post an update. Been 82 days gf now and not really been tempted keeping busy and mind off of the gambling . Life's been good not all plain sailing but generally keeping positive. Now looking for people's opinions I have been investing in shares this year and been a focus for me and more stable until an unexpected loss this week when one of my shares dived. Sold out for a £2k loss. That was Wednesday and it feels like a gambling loss. My compulsive nature wants to get it back. And finding myself consumed by thoughts. Just looking for people's views am I just gambling in another form? Not sure this is good for me or not.
I donot think this is gambling in anyshape or form. This is business, you donot randomly choose your shares and it not all down to luck. Sometimes shares value go down. You just have to be more carefull about choosing your shares.
I lost 18k in my gambling time. What did i learn, whats skills have i acquired ... nothing apart from lying ofcourse. I would happyly lose this money if i was investing in shares and the value go down. I would probably learn something on why did that happen! How can i secure better shares! You know what i mean.
But gambling is a horrible one way street. A legal con to take all your money away.
Goodluck and on 82 days GF. I am 83 days GF
Hi I hate to be negative but yes I think it's gambling. My cg did a few 'share deals' had a position on the FTSE, massive margin call. Be careful, we nearly lost everything.
