[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capitalist- from Mirriam-Webster Dictionary

: a person who has a lot of money, property, etc., and who uses those things to produce more money

: a person who believes that capitalism is the best kind of economic system

From me: a capitalist is simply an individual who uses their capital (money) to earn profits. Capitalism can include real estate, stocks, bonds, industry, retail, agriculture and a thousand other ways in which individuals are able to invest capital/money to create profits and wealth rather than surviving by selling one's physical labor.

So according to this rather loose definition, the schmuck earning 0.01% interest in the bank and the gambler are both big time capitalists.  Hey, even I'M a capitalist!  Woo-hoo!  Seriously, Mr. Millionaire-next-door, you should be more secure in your sense of self than this, and should understand the pps above who are criticizing the contribution (or lack thereof) that things like options trading make in our economy.[/quote]
