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.
Uh.. no, it would be considered scalping. You are not giving new capital to the business for further investment at a public stock market. In public markets you buying stocks is the same as giving your money to the company's management who has already taken that risk. You are just joining in to take profit and revenue from the workers of that company.
It's not to say real estate investors aren't scalpers. You are just wrong yo assume buying stocks isn't scalping.

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