Think of it as a poker game with only 2 players. One loses, the other gains. And the house takes a little bit off the table anytime the players trade.

yeah - ok - You know that and I know that. It’s a zero sum game until it comes to fees and spreads. The house earns money - that’s why it’s not a zero sum game.

What’s the point of using your brain and creativity for making up misunderstandings ?

You shouldn’t be embarassed when the gold lovers are right at the moment - if plan A fails - you know - plan b is next.

Then what did this comment mean?

It’s not the 2 dollar back and forth - it’s the interests on captial - the spreads - and all that.

And why are you so confused about spreads?
