Missing from this model is what everyone on this board does, that being no production of a value, only a transfer of money between investors, as in everyone wants to obtain the money of others. Every time you make a profit, its a lost of another(s). No value is created for society, only a transfer of one person's money to another person.
And who is to say that other person will not make better use of that money to enhance society? And for that matter, just who is the arbiter qualified to determine what value any particular action has? A butterfly flapping his wings in the Amazon may appear to have no value while in fact his action helps to create a blizzard in the Arctic. Everything is interlocked and synergistic, and who can say for sure what has value to society and what doesn't.
I can say this for sure -- trading has created value in my life, and I am a part of society, however small.
