I just fundamentally am against zero-sum systems like the stock market. For you to gain money, someone has to lose, or the perceived value of the company has to perpetually increase.

It's crazy that a 1-time initial public offering to raise capital results in endless trades where no practical good or service is produced as a result.

In my perfect world, investments would only yield profits if they served a useful function for others.
