it works because when a company issues shares it uses the money it gets from stock shares to finance the company, (they use the money for advertising, designing a more realistic dragon dildo, or use the stock money to pay for extra gas in their trucks, whatever)

the catch is that you dont know if whatever the company is doing with your money is "good"(profitable) or not, is that farming company whose stock you just bought really buying more acres of farm land with your stocks money? or is he buying his one way ticket to the bahamas with it?

if you want a good historical explanation, just look up dutch tulip mania, or something along those lines
