Gambling in the stock market goes beyond mere speculation. One of the habits Buffett has especially spoken out against as a form of gambling is borrowing money to buy stocks. The Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) reports that investors have started to buy more and more stocks on margin, meaning they're borrowing money to buy them. In September, investors had more than $654 billion in margin debt. That's an increase from August when the number was in the $645 billion range. If this trend continues, there could be a new record for margin debt soon. The current record was set in January 2018 when investors held $665.7 billion in margin debt. Buffett has said there's no reason to buy stocks on margin unless they are "in a hurry to get rich and willing to go broke." He also advises investors to "get rich slowly." Buffett has also said in a CNBC interview in 2017 that China's stock market sometimes has casino-like characteristics because it is relatively young compared to U.S. stock markets. The Shanghai Stock Exchange opened in 1990, while the New York Stock Exchange has been in operation since the late 18th century. Warren Buffett is often referred to as the "Oracle of Omaha," so investors would do well to listen to his advice about the stock market and gambling. Many people could probably say they have gotten rich from listening to Buffett's wisdom on investing. https://www.valuewalk.com/2020/11/buffett-opposes-gambling-stock-market/

Buffett's advice to investors not to treat the stock market like a casino is further strengthened when you understand how he feels about actual gambling. Buffett described gambling as "a tax on ignorance" during Berkshire Hathaway's 2007 annual meeting. He once installed a slot machine in his home and tested his children on it by giving them their allowance in dimes. He said he had all of their allowance back by the evening on the day in which he gave it to them, which illustrates how easy it is to lose while gambling—whether it's on the stock market or in a casino. Buffett believes that since humans tend to enjoy thrill-seeking, it may be why so many people like to gamble. However, it's easy to get in trouble by gambling by taking on debt to buy stocks, as many investors have found when they've fallen victim to a margin call.

Tilson is a nice guy just he never knows when to stop. After the 60 minutes interview he came out looking very good - he could have done Bloomberg and CNBC that morning and then just kept quiet. Instead, he has done CONSTANT emails, interviews, articles etc. He does not know when to stop. Tilson could really use a good PR agent who would tell him when its enough! Anyway, here is his updated track record. http://www.valuewalk.com/2015/02/whitney-tilson-letter-2014/
