Investing is a zero sum game though; there is no money that magically appears from thin air, and if you agree that its finite to being with, there is a winner and loser. So if there is $100 in the whole economy and you invest $1.00, when you later get $1.25 for that same share that means someone somewhere has last that $0.25. Its not possible that you just grew the extra $0.25 and no one else lost. It might appear that way, and I understand how an individual investor would see the market that way, but like I say, its zero sum.
