MODERATORS
The market used to represent how well the business on it where doing. Earnings and fundamentals would dictate market value and or dividends for shareholders. Businesses do good, shareholders get rewarded.
Now businesses market value is (generally) wildly over inflated, not really tied to real world results. The market is demand driven however so if shares are still being bought more then sold the value goes up. Although individual companies on the market will go up and down the overall market always goes up (and faster then inflation mostly) as long as more money goes into the market overall then comes out (more "buys" then "sells"). There is no competition really for investment outside the market more money is always being put into that market.
Basicly, line goes up now only due to the expectation that line goes up. Not company does well, but that more money goes in then out and therefore more demand then supply of shares. Most know this is how it works but since there is no where as good to invest there is no reason not to put all into the market and they know as long as everyone does the same; line go up.
Doesn't this inevitably ends with money itself losing its value?
It seems that people is paying and receiving money for purely speculative reasons, no?
Could be, no one knows how this ends. The effects so far are not good (less capital being invested in real things so more can go into the market) and will likely continue this way for a while. Although this is the case worldwide the real leader is the american stock market, so there is always the chance that with the us becoming the new world pariah state real losses could be seen. The issue though is (at least as I see it) unless there is something with a better return or lower risk any losses will just be temporary as seen every time trump has tanked the market.
