You're not wrong you are 100% right. Commercial banks create about 97% of the money supply and it mostly end up like you're saying in stock market, real estate and inflate the hard assets. Cantillon effect is the name we call this phenomenon. Economic is very simple, everyone can understand that printing money without bringing any value to a society is non sense but somehow all stay silent on the subject. One need to produce and add value just like the German's does with the insane amount of small and medium enterprises. Imagine a picture of a young kid playing with blocks, it's a common thing in human behavior to stack blocks together, the more one stack blocks the more fragile the tower become. This is exactly what our current monetary system look like, it might be done over and over again, it always end up the same way when you allow someone to print blocks out of nothing. Money itself is just a medium of exchange we all agree on, it could be shellfish or anything else. It store the value of someone work time, some have to work longer for the same money and some work less but it's a time unit of account.
The fact that some private entities have the right to create money out of nothing is non sense in itself, the lack of education on the subject is astounding in the general public. Since private corporations have the right to print the currency we use we have to exponentially work harder in order to earn a currency growing exponentially weaker.
There is a very, very good book on the deflation subject it's called
The Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth This is the best book I read so far and has the potential to change your view of the world forever.
