Over the last 5 years the M2 money supply has grown at a rate of 6.6% on average, the S&P 500 has grown at 13.4% on average.

Clearly inflation is a large portion of the return, but it isn't all of it. The stock market produces real return.

If you look over a longer timeframe than just 5 years it gets closer. 😉

But I agree that good companies produce real returns but the index average not really over decades.

since 1960 M2 is 6.88%. nominal stocks are around 10-11%. so a real return has been made to the stock investor
