I'm suggesting that looking at the market as gambling is the same as looking at poker as a game of chance. Go actually play poker, the game of chance is secondary to the mental game. It's a chess match. If you've played it for very long at all, that would be quite clear.

Where at any point did I claim that the SEC did a good job, or that inside information didn't exist, or that government bailouts, lying, frontrunning, etc. didn't happen? I claimed the market was a tool. I claimed it was broken, irrational, and only that it echoed and that can be used. That does not mean turn someone into Nancy Pelosi insider trading. It means there are things that can be done. I have no magic hand. I have no system in the sense that someone trying to sell you something might claim. I do lean towards business analysis and staying away from big trendy names. Let social media drive social media things, because those are the most irrational. I'd never claim magic, and I'd never even try to help someone with their own money, because while I have a track record that goes back nearly two decades, I also understand it very well could be made of brittle glass. Nor do I trust their ability to see it as the very first thing I said, a tool, part of a whole. Not a get rich scheme.
