Could be, but not necessarily.
Hogan passed away. He regrettfully got pancreatitus and died a very painful death in intensive care at the Vet Emergency Clinic.

Quote from Scataphagos:
The similarity between counting cards in BJ and trading... is when you KNOW the odds are in your favor, you bet... or bet bigger than normal for you.
The results of "one hand" or "this trade" are irrelevant... unless you foolishly "go all in"... any INDIVIDUAL trade/play is random enough to bankrupt the player.
It's not a matter of "control".... it's a matter of "probability". When the deck is known to be "in your favor", you need to get the money out. When the market is known to be "in the favor of a particular play", you also need to get the money out. DISCIPLINE is doing so. KNOWLEDGE is knowing "when the market favors a particular resolution of a situation".
You've been trading a long time, Michael... surprised you're still confused by this issue. How's Hogan, BTW?
Sorry to hear that... always sad to lose a pet.
Trading for me is taking a series of 50:50 shots, taking a 1R loss when wrong and taking a multiple R win at least some of the time when right.
So sorry to hear about your dog, dogs are truly a "Gift from above."
Here's the best Trader I know (yep, that's his name).

I was going to add that, but I figured ETers would get it.
If it is 50:50 would you consider trading "not gambling"
