No One Truly "Loses" in the Stock Market

Thanks for the clarification.

I thought Overnight was the only one doing that.

You do realise I give it back to Overnight because he has done it for so long to others.

Apologies for him sending you Voicemails because of me.

 

I also suspect Ken might not be the only Kinky one here. I enjoy it when Overnight abuses me

 

That is COMPLETELY insane. Didn't he start most of these fights?

I found him hilarious and very insightful, so sad to see him go, but I wouldn't want to put up with what you describe... that's pretty out there.

 

To suggest I was engaging in that behavior is unacceptable. I will be speaking with Baron about your claims soon.

You have crossed a line, you cocksucker.

 

His barbs were among the best I've read.

 

Mark remember XIV? Yeah, they lost bro.

 

still someone facilitated that trade by taking the opposite side. trades don't happen by themselves.

 

Mark is a piker idiot. Derivatives are zero sum. But equity markets and bond markets are not. Wealth is created and lost. Or did someone lose 3 trillion dollars because apples market cap became that over the last 25 years?

 

Markets are zero sum. This is econ 101, along with every Google search inquiry.

Buyers Sellers Supply Demand. Transactions volume summary. Gain Lose. Realized Profit Loss. Invest buy, opportunity cost. Etc misc relationships. Rise Drop

 

Exactly. For each Futures contract there is always a Long and a Short account for every contract. Zero sum.

But in the case of Stocks, there can be Longs without a matching short. So not purely zero sum in the same way, and means unrealised gains and loses can often happen without a counter party on the other side suffering or enjoying the opposite fate.
