I dont share that view. When a company needs capital these guys provide that access and the invaluable service. That's far from "nothing". Then , when you want to sell stock they provide the market. Without it, don't see how the economy functions. That's not nothing.
I respect your view. That’s the case for the equities market, but not the index funds and speculators.
