ISBN: 9781976949951 - the ponzi factor: the simple truth about investment profits (19 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer The Ponzi Factor is the most comprehensive research ever compiled on the negative-sum nature of capital gains-the money people make from buying and selling stocks. Unlike other finance books, this book does not assume stocks are ownership instruments. It investigates the ownership assumption and asks, Why are stocks ownership instruments if the owners never receive money from the companies they own?Most people don't realize that profits from buying and selling stocks come from other investors who are also buying and selling stocks. When one investor buys low and sells high, another investor is also buying high and needs to sell for even higher. Companies like Google, Telsa, Facebook never pay their investors. Their investors' profits are dependent on the inflow of money from new investors, which by definition, is how a Ponzi scheme works.This book is not for everyone. If you are a finance junkie who wants to rationalize why companies don't have to pay their investors and believe a system that shuffles money between investor can magically create more money than people contribute, then this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you understand why we can't create money by shuffling it with imaginary paper, and that investors invest because they want money, not value, then you will learn something you will never forget: The mechanics of how the stock market works and what really makes a stock price move.A stock without dividends is a Ponzi asset. It's not how equity instruments were designed to work historically and not how ownership instruments are supposed to work logically. The Ponzi Factor is not a perspective or an opinion. It is a proof that is based on definition, logic, and it is supported by observable facts and history. This is not a story that will disappear after another market crash. It is an idea that will remain relevant for as long as the stock market exists.Lastly, to critics, the naysayer, and the finance junkies who think the imaginary value = cash. The author will award $20,000 to anyone who can show why non-dividend stocks DO NOT meet the definition of a Ponzi scheme. That's $20,000 in cash, not value. (Details on this book's website. The Ponzi Factor. Proof by Definition.).…
