    Of course, a “market” doesn’t have to mean the thing is a financial instrument. I go to the market to buy grocereries. I am not intending to resell the carrots that I bought from “market”.

      And yet grocery stores are in a similar situation with prices going up while quality and quantity go down. Maybe it doesn’t have to mean the thing is a financial instrument but if it can be it will be.
