No, it's day trading and picking stocks which is betting against wall street firms, obviously that's not the way to go. But that's not all of investing. If you are diversified and tune a portfolio for risk, it's more like a bet that the long term trend will be for the global economy to become more productive as time goes on. And this is usually true, besides the transitory periods of recession.
