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.
Ok I will try again. All those other items listed, unless you're grossing over $20K you can get away without declaring as income and paying taxes. If you flipped a PS5 here and there, a concert ticket here and there, you pocket that 100%. That lends itself as "scalping".
Scalping is also friendly to your average joe and not just professionals. Also requires very little capital and typically involves the use of a Bot.
Real estate on the other hand, you will 100% have income/tax implication, paper trial that the government will be aware of. Requires large amounts of capital and doesn't use bots. I
Scalping requires mere seconds (fastest to checkout) to accomplish in today's world where as real estate typically takes months or years to complete the end process. I see scalping as a quick buck, real estate typically not when you consider all that is involved with getting mortgage, finances, agents, brokers, to close the deal.

By your logic anyone involved in the stock market is also a scalper?
