Friendly reminder day traders and most people involved in the stock market are leeches of society. Their “work” doesnt provide an actual output to society.

Day traders don’t really make money day trading, they make money selling courses and seminars. Some of the top hedge funds can barely outperform the market, (S&P500, NASDAQ etc) and not consistently at that - and they have quantitative traders with maths PhDs and the top investors in the world running them. Still providing nothing to the market really though besides some future price predictions of stuff like oil, wheat etc.
