No way! <Only that they have to use their hard earned money and not Other People's money.
> I became a capitalist by giving opm [mine] to other capitalists who knew how to do things such as actually make CDMA a commercial product. When I worked for decades, saving money, I needed to be able to lend it to capitalists so that they would pay me interest. Once I had enough money, I became a dinkum actual capitalist too.

People who work and save money need to be able to supply it to capitalists and earn interest. When savers have only a little money, they can't buy shares and might not want to either.

If by opm you mean money taken by governments and handed to cronies then yes, absolutely right. Do NOT do that.

Speculators and capitalists do Go-'s work. Others should try it if they think it's so easy. Others won't do it because they find it too difficult to learn, work, save, invest and carry all the risk of loss of their lifetime effort.
