All inflation is theft. Anyone who buys low in hopes of selling the same thing high is attempting theft. They can excuse it as simply fleecing the muppets, but it is theft none the less. To make any speculative purchase purely for gain is to seek unearned income, to take advantage of those less smart or attentive. Winning used to be busting your ass to build a economic safety net for ones self. Today winning is to dupe someone else to provide it for you. But the rationalization continues. You are free to do as you wish, but do not conflate your investing with earning a living. Most people involved in theft and fraud justify their actions. It is our blight. Our government steals,big corporations do it as do so many others including those gaming the welfare system to get what they deserve. If you sell something for more than you paid for it without adding any value or service you are defrauding. We all have done it and we tell ourselves that, but we know what we are doing, and it isnt earning it. We see the worlds finances spinning on its axis and it is all due to speculation and the values attached to those speculative assets are fraudulent and deliberately manipulated to be so. Participating in this fraud is worse than theft because we all know it is bringing everything to its knees. As we are obviously doing this to ourselves I suppose we may deserve it; but we know it is enabling those who have deliberately driven us to this point for a reason, and its not just about money.
