working on a phd project? ok I'm 21 I trade all the time, but as little as possible I've been trading for 30 years I was fly fishing one day and a nubian princess was laughing and I asked her why she was smiling and she said it was because she had a good week in her interactive brokerage account I don't want to make any money, I just want to feed the world better question to ask is why most traders and poker players always lie? they did this same thing back when I was in the computer business. It was very new and they tried to figure out what makes a person want to work with computers, and they tried to stereotype us all as computer nerds. everybody is a trader, even you someday if you ever have a 401k or IRA. This whole world works because people are traders. And while we are making the world work, students who didn't have what it takes to make it in business went into political science or journalism and are trying to write about something they will never understand. Good luck with your project sweetheart
Most people trade to make other people rich. It's a form of wealth redistribution in a capitalistic system. It works.
This is a good point, in theory. A tiny minority of hedge funds beat the market, and those HFs are populated (OPM-wise) with AI, so the smart money is usually dumb as a post as the SPX wins 9/10 years. But the argument is null as the wealth redistribution from taxpayer to QE^n makes it moot. The average taxpayer has little to no net-worth, and those that do have trivial exposure to the SPX. Taxpayers that collectively have had trillions stolen from their paychecks to fund the purchase of toxic CDOs from the wirehouse balance sheets at par when the shit is (sic) worth 40 cents on the dollar. Machiavelli wrote about such statecraft.
