Shares do nothing except gain or lose value. The other stuff can actually, you know, do things! Some people value the ability for things to do other things.

- paulcole 2y agoI think it’s not buying the shares “instead” of buying the thing, it’s also buying the shares and the thing. Because yeah, not buying things you want to watch your money high score go up is a pretty sad way to go through life.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoAn expensive bag or watch “does” nothing different than a less expensive one, so it is not functionally different than a share in that its purpose is to gain or lose value, so the owner can show off. Except a publicly traded share is much more liquid. An expensive watch does even less than less expensive watches, especially smart watches.
