"Always invest what you cant afford to lose" is a very common investing advice given to beginners. You don't need and an Economics PhD to understand this concept

I don't think so. Investing (i.e long term investing where you believe in a company) is usually a legitimately safe strategy, whereas speculation is more or less gambling.

Wonderful advice, right up there with "Buy High, Sell Low"
