Just love picking stocks, being right, markets in general. Market is just a giant psychology experiment on how global economies, markets, and micro/macro factors match up. Pretty cool to watch, challenging to predict, and lucrative if you can create a process that works
Also quite the rush putting risk on and forcing yourself to do the homework to make sure you've done it right. You're making educated bets on the entire world and everything is inter-connected. It forces you to learn quickly and adapt or die
that's a fancy way of saying you like gambling
Correct
Don't even gamble myself but yes basically exactly right
