Stocks should be used to provide CAPITAL for corporations, to allow them to succeed, and to provide jobs, revenue, and output. And some profit.

It's just a big word designed to intimidate people. Make bike and TV stealing legal, and society will get liquidity when the robber sells them for cash! BOOM, more liquidity in the economy.
