You can accept that capitalism frequently rewards moral shortcomings without losing your own morals or empathy.
Unless you pull the levers that make the immoral decisions, you're going to live through it whether you're buying into that particular system or not. The stock isn't going to sit around in a pool of "unsold"...someone will hold it.
Celebrating people's pain while also celebrating the gains aren't always tied together. For some people it is a sick bonus, though.
