Is the stock market a mega Ponzi scheme built on the constant creation
of new equity funds?
When I look at the massive growth of equity funds over the last 15
years I wonder how much of the stock market is pumped up by the
creation of these fund buying stocks to outfit their portfolios.
They say that 70% of the GDP is based on consumer spending. Without
the constant creation of new funds to keep buying stocks, what would
happen to the stock market?
