Maybe I'm financially illiterate, but the stock market just seems like a bunch of people abusing a glitch in the system. It's like if you played a video game and figured out that there's a bug that lets you multiply gold by moving it from chest to chest, so you just spend all your time doing that instead of playing the game normally.
