Is stock trading a wrong livelihood? Does stock trading count as pursuing gain with gain mentioned as wrong view in MN117?

Sure active stock trading is very destructive, especially nowadays it's like trading the weather, but does it count as pursuing gain with gain even for passive stock traders?

Thanks a mil
In my humble opinion, "pursuing gain with gain" refers to any purely speculative business activity that involves creating no added value whatsoever.

This is confirmed by Visuddhimagga:


  Herein, what is pursuing gain with gain (lābhena lābhaṃ nijigīsanatā)?
  It is when one bent on gain/esteem/renown, one of evil wishes, a prey to wishes
  carries there goods that have been got from here,
  carries here goods that have been got from there,
  fishing out material goods by means of material goods,
  seeking, searching, looking, hunting, trying, sniffing out.


According to commentary, this describes the process of aggressive deliberate speculation, buying low, selling high, with no other mission than making profit.

According to this, and in my own opinion, stock trading is indeed a wrong livelihood, unless it also has a charity element or is used as a way to fund some other constructive enterprise.
