Evidence?
Without them, a good part of the
reason to invest in equities goes away.

Funny, originally stocks were simply ownership in a
company and profits were distributed as dividends.

Plenty of them werent, they were invested in the company.

The secondary market for equities perhaps shouldn't
be used as the primary vehicle for returns on investment;
return the profits directly to the shareholders.

Problem is that it took a very long time for amazon to show a
profit and those immense costs have to be paid for somehow.

Twitter still doesn’t make a profit and neither does uber
and it is very far from clear that either of them ever will.

Tesla in spades.
