If there are others selling the same goods and services for different prices, and I pay more than you did for the same goods and services, I lose something don't I? I've lost potential savings or ability to spend the difference on another good or services.
In the investment side of this, which is where we've pushed the discussion, the goods and services is performance of a stock. If I buy today and the stock is high, versus if you bought several weeks ago when the stock was lower. I've lost potential profits.
