a ludicrous financial system that at best resembles a Vegas casino.
This "casino banking" nonsense meme has been around for ages -- was it Vince Cable who coined it? Anyway, trading is absolutely nothing like gambling in a casino. For a start, just because you don't understand why prices for some asset or instrument move in a particular way, it doesn't follow that it's done to nothing more than pure luck. I don't know which logical fallacy that one is, but it is one. (Is there an "I don't see it therefore it doesn't exist" fallacy?)
