The Ponzi, or Pyramid, scheme is based on the spreading out of investors putting in an exact amount and then continuing indefinately.
The stock market that I invested in worked as an increase as the value of the stock increased. I still own stock in a few large corporations such as IBM and Boeing.
The annual dividends supplement my 401-K's and Roth IRA's.

Hidden is the key term there.
