Derivatives trades are also often cited as zero-sum games, since every dollar earned has to be lost by another party to the transaction.

Zero-sum games are found in many contexts. Poker and gambling are popular examples of zero-sum games since the sum of the amounts won by some players equals the combined losses of the others. Games like chess and tennis, where there is one winner and one loser, are also zero-sum games.

A zero-sum game is a situation where, if one party loses, the other party wins, and the net change in wealth is zero. Zero-sum games can include just two players or millions of participants. In financial markets, futures and options are considered zero-sum games because the contracts represent agreements between two parties and, if one investor loses, then the wealth is transferred to another investor. Most transactions are non-zero-sum games because the end result can be beneficial to both parties.

Zero-sum is a situation, often cited in game theory, in which one person’s gain is equivalent to another’s loss, so the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. A zero-sum game may have as few as two players or as many as millions of participants. In financial markets, options and futures are examples of zero-sum games, excluding transaction costs. For every person who gains on a contract, there is a counter-party who loses.

Yeah I expect so, I remember listening to an investors chronicle podcast a while back and it put things into perspective when it said something along the lines of 'If someone wanted to buy one of these companies out privately, the sum of money they would be willing to pay wouldnt be anywhere near the current market caps.'
