I believe some of the biggest winners will be gamblers. Alan woods died with about 500 million dollars to his name from gambling on horses. Just a matter of finding the value which I think is what Zapata says he does each day.

I'm not saying he doesn't. I am saying its a story I've heard many times before though. I've been around sufficiently long enough to be cynical when I hear someone try and reinforce a point that they punt and its profitable.

If he is then fantastic I take my hat off! If someone wants to be a millionnaire gambler though the financial markets make betfair look like pocket change.

Following on from the 2 previous posts, I make an annual profit, sometimes small, sometimes into 5 figures (just).

I'm happy with that and having tried and failed to increase the levels, I'm happy to have found what works for me. ;)

Yes, if you're trying to follow short-term price moves pre-off, you're up against trader pros like Peter Webb. If on the other hand, you're just looking for value and holding your position long-term, you're up against the horses. Which would you rather take-on, smart traders or horses? Hint: Horses are much dumber than traders.
