Good one.

As you rightly pointed out that it is a zero sum game, I guess the losers would be those that are still working their day jobs while trading on the side.

One my friends who went into full time day trading on his own lamented that unlike salary earned, the gains he made each day, week or month cannot be "saved" as he could lose it all in the next trades. There is just so much uncertainty.

So I scared already, only buy stocks for their dividends.
