Behavioral Characteristics. Chapter Seven
discusses the most common way people personalize
market positions. The chapter introduces the five types of
participants in the markets: investors, traders, speculators,
bettors and gamblers. The type of participant a person is,
is determined by the behavioral characteristics he displays;
not by the activity in which he is engaged. In other words,
all stock purchases are not investing just as all card
playing isn't gambling.
