LOL- perhaps  D'art and I didn't really expand enough on this/just thought that everyone here already knows this ole shoe.

Investing being a zero sum game is a well trodden out and quite rational hypothesis of the reality in investing; Somebody just ALWAYS loses/loses out of whatever another one makes.

In your example - you buy something which grows in value = you've bought this something from somebody else ....who've now lost out on whatever he could have made if he had hung on to his investment.

That's all there is to this comfortable mantra.
