>What's the difference between this and casinos/lotteries
-WIth a lottery some of the money may go into public budgets. -Otherwise, there's no difference, except that the illusions are -probably greater in day trading.

It reminds me of an ad I saw on a billboard. It said:

"Someone has to win the lottery. Just not you."

Then the punchline: "Time for E-Trade"

The idea of course being that instead of stupid gambling, you should turn to the sure bet of day trading.

I actually really liked the anti-gambling take of the first lines, and think gamblers anonymous should borrow it. --Nathan
