58. They did not lose in their minds, may not even lose in reality

If I buy shares of XYZ at $10 and they go to $15 I have gained, but it doesn't mean the seller, who chose to sell, lost. They may have bought at $5, or bought at $10 and had a few years of dividends. You know that, right?

And I thought every investor was an evil corportatist plutocrat anyway. Aren't I just taking money from them if they did lose?
