You're literally buying ownership in a company where you don't contribute labor, which you can then sell to make a profit. It's textbook exploitation, just distributed across multiple firms.
sure that is what investment firms are doing, but most people investing by themselfs see none of the profit. It is the same as investing in gold or bitcoin.
I don't think that is true. The worth of a stock is not connected to the value people are creating. Just look at Tesla the stock price is many times higher than all other car companies combined

Objectively, if you're getting money from your stocks, you're receiving exploited labor value.

It depends on how speculative the stock is and at whose expense.
All publicly traded stock is highly speculative i think but anyway i see why it isnt a great fit for the site haha
