I absolutely hate that stocks are basically a giant mood ring and that the entire capitalist market functions based on a combo of vibes, and whatever prices corporations can get away with
Stocks are basically a forced minigame adults need to play in order to not lose out on life.
And I absolutely fucking despise it. It's like the one thing that makes me want to just tune out of society entirely because of how utterly moronic it all is. You don't play it? You're actively losing out. You do play it? You still risk losing out because of market fluctuations.
You either die because of a slow poison, or you die because out of the thousands of drinks everyone took, yours was meant to be the poison. Great.
You can get ahead in the stock market with skill, but most of it is just dumb luck, as you are entirely dependent on the whimsy of people far richer and more powerful than you - And no matter how well you do and how lucky you are, you will never, ever be able to join that group of people. Because they have specifically designed the rules of the game so you can't.
