Hi; do you guys think that trading or investing in the stock market is a fraud? I've seen so many colleagues loose tons of money in this sort of gambling arena. What do you think? Could it be arranged by macro algorithms or software?

Unless you are VERY knowledgeable and have excellent information sources, stock trading will be gambling.
The real money comes not from trading, but by "owning" stocks. When you buy a share of stock in a corporation, you are then one of the owners of that company. As part owner, the company’s land, buildings, machinery, inventory, debts and earnings belong to you (and the other shareholders.) This is not gambling, it is investing.
It takes time for your company to earn money.

no, anyone engaged in trading stocks needs to learn the system and heed the warnings

Day traders often lose money because they aren't properly trained or simply aren't smart enough.
I still don't understand how individual people think they can beat the billion dollar companies who deal in markets full time...

The stock market allows the public to have a stake in businesses and profit from their success.
Treating it as a "gambling arena" is how you lost your money.
