It also means that stock market does not really generate ANY value.
What they do is collect money from inexperienced investors who see graph going up, imagine it will go up further and buy. Then when the graph falls, these same inexperienced investors sell immediately, making the transfer complete.

Would you care to explain?
Selling the company shares is the function allowing "further growth". I know...
But what kind of value is generated by the secondary stock market itself?
@EMPEROR @andreas@neckbeard.xyz
Ok, i got that word wrong... You obviously do know more about it then I do.
So please, do trust me that I am interested in your educated opinion.
Selling company stock is just another way of getting money to support it's growth. One, that could be easilly done by loans with much lesser long term risk and while keeping the ownership.
Is there anything important about the value of the shares themselves for the company as a system generating profit, or is it just completelly separated system of company "trading cards"?
not really true
of course there are inexperience retail players, but there are many very experienced traders
the market is another way, in addition to loans, in which companies can acquire capital to expand, bulid more production capacity, produce more goods, hire more people, fund more pension funds...
