The CFA acronym is Chartered Financial Analyst, folks who want you to give them access to your money to invest as they see fit, and earn a commission (a cut) off the deal. But IMHO seems there is a "conflict of interest" herein when an organization whose members have a motive to obtain access to your money to earn a commission off of "investing" it coincidentally publishes a piece claiming to be an authority for determining gambling versus investing ?

My assumption is this group is likely biased against traders to a degree, how about a discussion of trading versus investing as it relates to gambling ?

Trading using technical analysis, volume, and pattern recognition, with protective stops and targets ?
