I don't see the problem as long as materially significant transactions by publicly traded companies are properly disclosed to investors. If someone loses money by buying NVDA then they have only themselves to blame.

This is Jeremy Irons' argument in "Margin Call" too. But most people were unhappy with the secular result.
