I am still enjoying holidays, just being touch with all you people. Waiting for new start of this year, as i am still not in mood to trade.. Market is having very slow movement due to holiday season.
Each trader has different view according to their mind so can not comment which is gambling and which is trading. It may happens that which you call gamble , the other one are thinking of it as analysis.

Good to hear that you are happy with your broker and having great experience with him. Not every newbie has the same experience as he dont know within which broker he should invest.
Not many choose short term but newbie choose it for trading as they are knowing the fact of short term risk. Once getting experienced he can develop mind according to long term strategy.
Trading short term or long term depends on each trader's strategy and not every trader is fan of long term trade holding. There are more scalper then long position holders.
We can not say any thing about the future of anyone not even for broker so we have to find one which is more reliable right now. And trust them as we dont know about future of any one in market.
