Never. I'm no gambler and I know what happens to amateur stock traders when they try to compete with the pros. The only place you can get cleaned out quicker is Las Vegas.

If you need to get rid of your money, here are some excellent ways to do that:

Believe what you read in ads.
Use credit cards when you need credit.
Become an internet day trader.
Hide your money in the furnace.
Buy a timeshare.
Become a financial backer for an inventor.
Buy a car to save bus fare.
Pay workers in advance.
Send in money to find out how much you have won.
Cash those checks that they send you in the mail.

Or you can donate it to a retired teacher's scooter fund.
