520    The stock market and by extension the greater financial 
       system has lost touch with its fundamental purpose for 
       existing. There was a time when the stock market was a 
       mechanism for growing businesses to raise money, playing a
       large role in the industrial revolution--boosting America 
       to a global superpower. Today the stock market has morphed
       into a high-tech system of fluctuating arbitrary numbers 
       which are used by individuals and industries alike to find
       profit opportunities by placing bets, masqueraded as 
       sophisticated financial maneuvers with fancy labels and 
       acronyms. Nowhere is this more evident than with the 
       tendencies observed today. There is a shocking trend by 
       today's Millennial generation to shamelessly and 
       unapologetically find ways to use the stock market to 
       place very high-risk bets. And unlike formal Wall Street 
       investment institutions, these gamblers, of sorts, don't 
       attempt to disguise the game: they are proud to call Wall 
       Street a casino. Jaime Rogozinski combs through various 
       elements of how reckless investors play Wall Street 
       similar to a casino. He illustrates these often in playful
       ways, using entertaining and compelling real-world 
       anecdotes. His stories are taken straight from Reddit's r/
       wallstreetbets community which Jaime founded in 2012, and 
       currently has more than 800,000 followers in addition to 3
       million unique visitors a month. WallStreetBets is a forum
       based gathering where people are notoriously known for 
       taking a brazen and public approach at gambling with the 
       stock market.
