is if you ignore that massive amount of damage that is done to a huge percentage of the population due to the fact both that the market is so efficent at keeping wages down that lots of people can't earn a living and the fact that in a complex technological society every individual simply does not have the means of directly knowing all the relevant information needed to make truly informed economic decisons. An unregulated stock market will invariably become a scam and this principle applies to every complex system. A pure free market may work in a village of subsitence farmers exchanging homemade crafts goods. A corporate dictatorship is not a free market in any meaningful sense.
