It's not like he has his money stuffed into his mattress. Money invested into the stock market is used by companies to grow / hire people / make new products.

Minor quibble. Companies don't get the money invested in the stock market after the IPO - other traders do.

They don't make more products or hire more people when someone buys a stock on the open market.
