"has moved from buying a piece of a company into being a lottery and casino."

Well at least it's entertainment. You could go to a casino etc. and really lose. Or is it you don't have enough cheap shares of your own yet and you'd like others to sell to you. If you don't like the game then you know where the door is.... right in front of you... you know .... a few clicks. Why waste your time and most certainly ours with useless posts of alleged frustration. Your post history reads like Chicken Little and "the sky is falling" most of the time. This is a game for adults... perhaps you could try the children's play area. This is a pure spec. play and you obviously don't understand the rules.
