It pops from someone has no understanding of investments.
For example, is stock a 真投资? What if the company does not produce enough profit and stock value is negative?
Is real estate a 真投资? What if one buys a rental house that he can not rent out with high enough positive return to cover mortgages and expenses?
Is gold a 伪投资 because it does not produce cash flow? duh, central banks lease out their gold to bullion banks for a profit for ages. So central banks do not produce profit from their "dead" gold? In history, gold smith lend out their gold to people who need money and charge them interests. So you say it is not 真投资?
Now you might say gold is not money so it can not lend out today. Really?!! I can lend out my gold to a trusted friend who can then 抵押 the gold to banks for a loan to set up a business. He pays me interests. Is this 真投资 or 伪投资?
So this 伪投资/真投资 term is nonsense. Read Adam Smith and David Ricardo's book to understand the definition of money. Heck, they wrote almost 200 years ago.
