Central banks are either directly buying stocks, or in the case of the Federal Reserve they are giving newly diluted dollars to hedge funds and other groups to buy up stocks. Definitely a ponzi scheme, but I wonder to what end... My gut tells me we're going into a long preparation for large scale war, because none of the world players involved want to budge, nor can they. There's going to be a stale mate for who knows how long until either a new "we win" weapon is developed to strong arm the rest of the world into a new trade system, or someone gets desperate. By all rights the stock markets around the globe should be in the sewers, but they're part of the front being put up to see who can keep their ponzi scheme going the longest - winner takes all.

They are buying corporate debt, which as we have seen since 2009 eventually gets used to buy back stocks and juice the stock price. It doesn't get lent out into the broader economy or used to build new business, well the majority of it anyways.
