There is a popular saying which goes this way ''The goal of every business man is to maximize profit'' and this saying is the central philosophy of so many trader. Let's be honest, most people get into trading because they want to make profit.
Should this even be the bone of contention in the first place?
Trading and investment are solely for profit-making. This is not gambling, in which some people would claim they are doing for fun. Trading and investment are strict business for those who value them, and no one would ever say they are risking their money in the two for other reasons, if not for profit-making.
