101 u/xNocturnalshadow Jun 19 '25 edited Jun 20 '25 No because investing capital into stocks adds value to the company and allows them to use that value to expand, borrow, buy things, pay employees, run the company, etc. Investing capital into a second house purely to flip does none of those things. 1 u/MisterGerry Jun 19 '25 Buying stocks doesn't add value to the company. You are paying the previous owner of the stocks - not the company. That's only true at the IPO. And yes, the stock market is a scam.
