That requires explanation of a mechanism that would generate wealth for yourself

Acquire it from other people. That's how I do it; my day job pays me less money than me just swapping stocks around.

I harvest wealth without having ever invested in any company and my actions create no new wealth; I harvest wealth I did not create.
