Equities aren't investment in industry except when there's an IPO or SPO. The rest of the time, it's zero-sum.

What you just said makes no sense. How can equities come into existence except via an IPO or similar mechanism?

Equities are literally investments in business. Equity is a line in the balance sheet for every corporation.
