What is the difference between "Wasting" and "Loosing"?

Question

What is the difference between "Wasting" and "Loosing"?

Answer 1

The difference is, "wasting" is spelled correctly, and "loosing" isn't.  

But don't feel bad--86% of the people on the internet also spell "losing" incorrectly.  (Why, I have no idea.)

Answer 2

Does it really matter because weather you are "wasting" something or "losing" it, in the long run you will have the same results...it will be gone.

Answer 3

When risk outweighs potential, then losses are wasted.

When someone doesn't bother to learn something before they leap, then the loss is wasted.

Firing a lot of bullets w/o a target is a waste.

Listening to the media talking heads and the political talking heads is a waste of energy and resources.

Trying to model the stock market with a Bell Curve, where huge declines don't fit, is a waste, and trying to apply it even more wasteful.

Subsequently, the work of all economists and stock analysts are a waste, and make my head hurt to listen to them. My heart hurts for those that listen in earnest -- almost everyone -- the unsuspecting.

By and large, Buy and Hold is a waste. Buy and Hope.

Conversely, measuring risk, doing your own work, making an educated decision, guarding your investments, and taking a small loss quickly are only natural. Mitigating risk and loss are part of life.

Hope is a waste in this business; not a reason, not a plan, not an act.

And nobody will take you seriously,  nor will you go very far, until you take the effort and responsibility to spell correctly.
