A Ponzi scheme is a form of pyramid scheme in which earlier investors are paid with the money of later investors rather than from real profits.Most of the profits on wall street are not real profits after taking into account money printing inflation , but most profits are from money printing over the last three decades.

Buy new shares from old investors ,on valuations of performance over future years , example dotcom bubble shares ( face book) .......rob the funds AUM by selling to new investors (AUM).It is nothing more than a grand Ponzi scheme based on future valuations and future values of prices.

The maddoff analysts and investment bankers ramping up share prices .The only thing keeping these markets high is the money printing by central banks.

What are the true investment returns after fees , commissions , by adding cost of losses of bankrupt companies from Dow and S and P returns ?If money printing was not allowed , if we had the gold stand in place , What would be inflation adjusted returns ?
