You can make money trading shares of a publicly traded company for as long as that particular Ponzi Scheme lasts. As long as naive investors that are incapable of checking out the actual business model continue to spend big bucks for shares of CompanyName, even if they haven't turned a profit directly outside of share sales, sometimes for years, until ordinary people realize that the company actually produces nothing but stock shares and stop buying it, and then that company will drop down into the Penny Stocks, at which point all the bigwigs will desert like rats deserting a sinking ship just in time to squeeze the very last drops of "value" out of their shares in a coordinated insider-trading stock dump. Then they go take over another company, like financial locusts stripping every leaf from a field.
