help:Psych e-trade

[Michael Sylvester]

  I would like to incorporate internet stock trading behavior
in my coverage of the Learning chapter.
Here are a few questions:
is stock trading gambling?
does it follow the same principles of gambling (Los Vegas style)
and the variable ratio info of its resistance to extinction?
would the Mowrer concept of "hope" apply in this situation?
There maybe other comparison and contrasting info such as variability
between the IV and DV in stocks and popular gambling.
Send me something.
