    It is zero sum over the lifetime of a company. Theoretically, every company have a lifetime (be it 10 years, 100 years or 1 million years). You only considered a fraction of that time in your analysis.

      exactly, but stock markets are not a zero sum game because some of them pay utilities. Also, when buying shares you become also owner of part of the company.

    Your logic is flawed. Common stocks are not tied directly to the performance of the company at all. All you have is voting rights, which are worth nothing.

    I think it is a zero-sum game if you adjust to inflation. I personally don't care how many units of dollars I make during a trade. I do care about how much stuff I can purchase with them. If I buy a non-dividen paying stock and sell the shares in the future for a 5% gain but then realize that the product I wanted went up in price 7%, I lost 2% purchasing power. In practice, that's what really matter, not the amount of dollars you made in the transaction. If you measure wealth in dollars there is no way to know for sure who win and who lose or brake even until the very moment both parties buy something.

    Stocks market is a zero sum game when one stock of a company is increasing the stocks of other companies decreases simultaneously. Or maybe if stocks of companies from one sector increases other sectors take a hit. Or when everyone is getting richer take it as a sign of increasing inflation.

      But the market cap of the stock market perpetually grows, and so does the GDP...

      GDP and inflation are generally similar in value, in fact causally linked.

  • @ya00007
    @ya00007 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You're assuming that the price will either keep rising or falling. What happens if the price rises but then after some time it falls back to its original price level? That's zero sum alright.

  • @ma2i485
    @ma2i485 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    i disagree with your explanation because most of the trading activity in the stock market is speculative, participants betting with each other with buy orders and sell order on the future price changes, which has little to do with real world matters of that company share, hence that's why trading in any market is a zero sum game overall because its not a win win scenario on each trade unlike in a real economic activity where a shop or business sells a product to a customer. In the stock market its different scenario because not every participating trader is going to be holding a share because of fundamentals of the company, most will be betting on future price change with a bet placed as a long or short position, only one position gains money the other loses money, its that simple.

  • @wannwhite8075
    @wannwhite8075 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Not logic at all. Basically, trading is a zero sum game. For specific time A will win the game while B is lose. A and B cannot win at the same time. That meaning of zero sum game.

    • @deepakj4833
      @deepakj4833 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Nah you misunderstood, when the stock market is bullish, people are willing to pay more for the same stock, that's why price goes up, vice-versa, it's basic demand and supply concept.

    • @Firstname_Surname

    That was interesting! Always wondered why they call they call it a zero sum game when it actually is not a real zero sum game. There can be situations where the the zero sum game doesn't really apply.

  • @Islam-gy9lj
    @Islam-gy9lj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This video is incorrect. A stock cannot go up forever. So the person who buys at the peak loses the money. If a company doesn't given dividends then the only way you can make money is at the expense of others. If not where do you think the money is coming from?

  • @don911

    Flawed analysis.. he never did an analysis of the underlying asset that’s the dollars being pumped or dumped into the market? The buyers and sellers entering the market come in with an amount of capital that’s totally capped on what they initially have.. and that’s what they trade with.. and eventually someone will be the winner and someone the loser. One cannot perform the zero sum analysis with 2 variables - the money and the stock..

  • @xenos76
    @xenos76 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    In short, zero sum games are tied to reality. If you see the stock market as a non-zero sum game, then you're missing the whole picture, reality.

    • @VRDNation
      @VRDNation  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question :) Since forex is a derivative (futures), trading in it is a zero sum game.

  • @SteepVisions
    @SteepVisions 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's definitely a zero sum game. Where on earth did the idea of share price going up if the company earns profit come from? The answer: dividends. If google isn't paying dividends and never intends to pay dividends the stock itself has no value. It's only as valuable as the next person that buys if from you. What happens when fewer people enter a market than are exiting it due the retirement of baby boomers? The market looks like a ponzi scheme that depends on younger generations to give it value. With declining population growth this is becoming concerning...

    This is wrong. If I own share A and sell it to you at $50 and it goes up to $100.. then I’ve “lost” the upside that you’ve gained. There are always two sides of a trade so it MUST be zero-sum.. granted, its less obvious than a casino or a bet.

      It is technically a - sum game for anyone playing intraday trading and the SEC take a cut off of the trades. But apart from that it would be a zero sum game

  • @rejeesh31

    Stock market is not a zero sum game, but derivatives market - more precisely the option market is a big time zero sum game. And when you compare the size of a traditional 'shares of companies' trading to the options market, the Options market is many folds of the actual shares market and many times of even the economy itself. So, you are not really addressing the question here. #justsaying
