Near as I can tell, S&P500 is actually almost neutral if we count inflation. Also, we’re very likely to get a replay of the late 70’s (leading to the early 80’s) soon if Trump gets what he wants with the Fed. He wants to inflate out of this mess, and I suspect he’ll get what he wants.

The S&P has almost doubled in 5 years compared to the quoted 30% increase in prices, stock returns are far outstripping inflation.

I have not met anymore whose grocery bill has only gone up 30% during that time. In fact, pretty much nothing I interact with has gone up only 30% in that time eh?
