A trader argues that markets are capitalism in its purest form because everyone involved, from individual traders to hedge funds, is motivated purely by profit. Trading is zero-sum: one person's gain is another's loss.
Trading is the purest form of capitalism, and that's something most traders don't realize. Everyone is on the market to make money. I'm there, our company is there, all the hedge funds are there, market makers which are providing liquidity are there, even your brokers are there. So everyone is there to make money. That's first. Everything is about money. And second is trading is zero-sum game.
