" 1. Make a social contribution, and receive payment commensurate with the social value of your contribution.

2. Take advantage of market inefficiencies to extract money without contributing any value. "

Steve, would you consider what most financial traders do to be activity number 2, ie. "mooching" ? I did ask this question in another section and I got some pretty good answers, but for the most part trading in markets such as futures/options are effectively zero-sum.

Thanks!
