Tokaok, day trading and other forms of "game based" stock market playing should actually help the stock market function. They clean out flaws/mistakes in the market (mispricings etc), until the flaws are no longer profitable.

I don't know if it works in practice, but in theory once a market gets large enough such activities could be considered benefitial. I'd personally love it if someone figured out a less wasteful way of doing it, I'd admit!
