You ARE misunderstanding my argument, by which I mean your response COMPETELY IGNORES the argument I made and instead talks about how the monetary system is like a bartering system, which it's NOT.

My definitions of "scalper" and "trader" are clearly distinct and separate. The ultimate difference between them is that the trader enjoys a symbiotic relationship with the markets he serves, whereas the scalper is a simple parasite.

You, sir, are a parasite to the market. And since you are a natural function of our imperfect capitalist system, we accept that as long as you don't suck too much blood or deny your parasitic nature.

But, I provide a service/product to someone who needs it, who in turn, gives me the money I desire. That by definition also makes me a symbiote.

Not a parasite to the CUSTOMER, a parasite to the MARKET. You continue to misunderstand me.

edit:  Eomund, take note of this distinction as well.
