Episode notes
Inflation-Adjusted Returns Matter
- Adjusting the S&P for inflation changes the picture: multiple decades saw negative real returns.
- Dividends today are muted and often don't offset inflation, reducing real income from stocks.
Stocks Don’t Always Win Decade-To-Decade
- From 1930–2020, the S&P rose in real terms only in four of nine decades and fell in four.
- Long-term buy-and-hold can fail during inflationary decades as stocks can lose purchasing power.
Inflationary Decades Hurt Stocks
- The 1940s and 1970s were inflationary decades where real stock returns were negative.
- Inflation can coincide with falling real equity returns, undermining the idea that stocks always hedge inflation.
