>>4693983>confusing stock trading with dividendsif you buy amazon stock you get absolutely jack shit from what they win until you sell the stock at a higher price. Not all actions have dividends.
The point of stock trading is observing the flow of the market, buying low and selling high. You have to sell it to someone.
>math games that conjure $ out of nowhere because it's all fake valueyou buy with your money, the "value" increases because someone buys it from you at a higher price. that money came from somewhere else, "a stock" as an item never creates money unless you're only looking at your bank account. someone else bought the stock from you.
you might be confusing the stock market, which is simply a market for stocks where you buy and sell stocks, with banking, that does in fact "make" money with loans and credit, or central banks specifically that make money literally by both printing money and 'creating' digital money.
>puts and shorts and marginsbecause a creditor is willing to contract a short cfd with you. this has literally nothing to do with the rest of the post, its just opposite buying (aka selling). if it goes down you win money.
this is still a financing company giving you the money, you're creating nothing.
if you want to make a criticism of WS it should be "the stock market creates nothing". In many ways crypto is an upgrade on stocks because you can actually use your shitcoins for something else.
A stock is nothing. Its a paper at best and a digital buy option at worst.
