I'll buy $100m worth of stocks from all the public companies every month.

Stocks are liquid enough that the genie may not consider it "spending". You could easily buy it, and then just as easily dump it. The move is also big enough that you'll single handedly move the market in the process.

I still "bought" the stocks besides almost everything we buy is a gamble anyways.
