I have always thought that trading stocks is very similar to a legalized form of gambling. It does sound like you friend has an addiction to trading stocks. Does he have the lows and highs? How is he when he cant see his stocks or do trades? I think that is the true telling question.

Stocks definitely seem like

Stocks definitely seem like gambling (especially now), but it really depends if they are using stock trading as an escape from something deeper.
