And recently I watched some videos about dividend investing on YouTube that I would consider reasonable investment advice.&lt;p&gt;I agree that there is a lot of gambling and excessive risk taking going on. And I myself stick to a 3 ETF portfolio because I like the simplicity. But to call it almost entirely just gambling I think is missing the point. There is some interesting and good stuff happening now in the intersection of social media and low cost trading, and it makes sense I think for VCs to be investing in that space.</text><parent_chain><item><author>lupire</author><text>Article misses the point (perhaps due to their capital investments) that the resurgence in active trading is almost entirely just gambling, but exempted from casino regulation.&lt;p&gt;Also, saying &amp;quot;no more&amp;quot; to refer to a blip fad is a ridiculous healdit.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>“Buy and Hold” No More: The Resurgence of Active Trading</title><url>https://a16z.com/2021/03/29/active-trading/</url></story>

When the world closed down and there were no sports, there was nothing to gamble on. When RH was blowing up around GME, stats came out that many of their customers were playing around with relatively small amounts money. The amounts sounded pretty similar to what I hear people talk about throwing on a game. $25-$100 for the excitement.</text><parent_chain><item><author>lupire</author><text>Article misses the point (perhaps due to their capital investments) that the resurgence in active trading is almost entirely just gambling, but exempted from casino regulation.&lt;p&gt;Also, saying &amp;quot;no more&amp;quot; to refer to a blip fad is a ridiculous healdit.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>“Buy and Hold” No More: The Resurgence of Active Trading</title><url>https://a16z.com/2021/03/29/active-trading/</url></story>
