        Maybe i'm missing something on this "zero sum" game we seem to
be
accused of playing in...   I understand for every buyer there is a
seller, but
that doesnt necessarily mean a net of zero.

I always thought the term Zero Sum Gain referred to slippage and
commission. The idea that as soon as you enter a trade you have an
immediate loss.
