who cares, nobody is watching you and marking you down on a sheet for being a Bad Communist. there's no party to expel you for participating and deriving personal profit from the exploitation of the global south (which is obvs what primarily drives the stock market and its redistributive process). if you have the means to invest in the stock market to a degree that will affect your living standards, you probably aren't in any sense proletarian, of course.
Labor aristocracy counts as proletariat and they have enough money to invest.
they also count as counter-revolutionaries in most cases
