  • How gambling in the stock market is measured, and how prevalent is it
  • Why most traders lose money but continue to trade anyway
  • How uninformed traders improve market liquidity and encourage trading by informed trading
  • Why being an asset allocator is more rewarding and as intellectually stimulating as trading
