In my experience there is a huge gap between those that are smart and enthusiastic and those that are just average. I consider myself part of the former group and I can’t blame coworkers for just doing their job and go home. But it means the gap just widens.

Alright. Your messages sounded a bit different to me at first. You can certainly gamble with stocks. But you can also invest more or less safely.

Early investors geht stocks. And they can even sell them before the company goes public (if it ever does). The IPO or direct listing or whatever process is chosen, brings the stocks to an open exchange. And a company usually issues new stocks during an IPO and can issue new shares at any time.
The fact that IPOs are overpriced and kinda shady is true, but that’s one of those problems I meant, which are not explicitly due to the existence of stocks.

No, it’s not gambling. It’s people coming together in order to build something. And a place where people can sell their stocks is a stock market.
There are many problems in this world. But there existence of stocks and the fact that they can be traded is not one of them.

That doesn’t make any sense. That way you could only buy stocks and never sell them. Then what’s the point of investing? Also you couldn’t just leave the company behind if you stopped believing in it and its leadership.
