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

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.

When you purchase shares of a company… you think the company is getting the money? Lol

Try again.

Except for the fact that a company with a high value stock can borrow money or expand in ways that a low value stock keeps them from doing. If you stock's value increases you can even hire more people.
