The thing is that stonks as a whole tend to go up, so it's gambling with positive EV. If you're trading Forex for example, that's just playing the house.

What does "trading with stocks" mean? Active management? Day trading? Buy and hold? Picking stocks? Actively managed mutual funds? Index-tracking mutual funds? Obviously some of those are gambling (at least to the experts I know), but obviously some of those are not (at least to the experts I know). Your question is as meaningful as, "how long is a piece of string?"
