  > You actually compare having electricity supplied to your home with over leveraging in the stock market? Literally the most bizarre comparison. In the default state (regular electricity provider, no investments), you're relatively insulated from price fluctuations. You can make the choice to gain exposure to various markets by various ways, buying stocks, buying futures, buying/writing options, etc. By doing so, you can earn some profit, but you're also exposed to risk. What I'm arguing is that there's nothing fundamentally different between the two because in both cases you're making the decision to be exposed to a market in exchange for profits.
