Would you consider stock & commodity trading gambling?

[White Lily]

I'm relatively new to trading, and I've been having discussions with other newbies and experts about the risks of trading. I think if you make carefully thought out and educated decisions, you can profit greatly. I don't think it's gambling if you take the time to look and understand analyses, indicators, and any data you can find. If you take too many risks without really knowing what you're doing, then it might be considered gambling.

What do you think?
