Life is a gamble. What do you call driving down the highway at 100 km an hour towards another car or truck and just miss them by a meter or so. Will they be distracted for a second , are they drunk , will they get a blow out just before they get to you and hit you head on.

You could never leave your house but there is always the possibility of a gas leak and explosion , fire , home invasion , tornado or a visit from the inlaws.

Buying and holding a stock is nothing compared to how many times a day you gamble with your life .
