Of course it's not gambling (I get tired of people saying, "Oh, investing in stocks and shares is just gambling').
Gambling is binary: I win, or I lose my stake. Very rarely is stock & shares like that - only likely if a company goes bust). Sure, a lot of my portfolio is in the red. But it's only a loss if I sell. And even then it's not a total loss.
It's risk, yes (all investment is risk, after all); gambling, no.
