And back to the karma thingy...
That is why I'm also personally against trading of commodities esp agricultural goods, those items are necessities to many, and yet greedy traders manipulate the prices to their advantage.
Stocks are not a necessities, u won't starve to death if u don't own any stocks. Thus if u talk about fund managers speculating on stocks, I've nothing against them.
A little contribution goes a long way.If u kept thinking "well, everyone does it, so if I don't do it out of conscience, then I'm losing out", then when karma comes/God questions you on Judgment Day, don't complain.

Since u talk about karma thingy. I would also like to share my humble opinion.
Well, We live in a capitalist world, so the demand and supply market will decide the price, unless u live in communist world, u wait for your food and house allocation from the government.
For property, no doubt it is a necessary to have a roof above your head but u don't necessary have to own it. You can rent it. Even cash rich as banks, they do not own all their branch business premises instead they pay rent to their landlords/property investors. In many developed nations like UK, Germany most ppl do not own a house in their life time, instead they prefer to rent it. This open an opportunity to property investor to invest and rent it out for those who need it. Willing buyer willing seller, willing landlord willing tenants, this is how free market works
