The Ponzi Factor: The Simple Truth About Investment Profits is a short finance critique by Tan Liu that argues many stock market profits are structurally dependent on money from later buyers rather than on direct cash payments from the underlying businesses. Written as a polemical and analytical work, it challenges the conventional view that stock ownership automatically produces real economic gain. Instead, Liu focuses on the difference between accounting profit and actual cash realization, especially in markets where companies do not pay dividends and investors rely on price appreciation to make money. The book draws on the author’s experience in hedge funds and trading to explain how reported gains can be shaped by valuation conventions, accrual accounting, and investor expectations. It is aimed at readers who want a skeptical, mechanism-based critique of modern capital markets rather than a standard investing guide. Its purpose is not to teach portfolio construction, but to question the logic of investment profits themselves.
