    The hell of it is, some people would still be happy to buy his apples. Look, I ain’t got time or health insurance to be fucking around climbing an apple tree, here’s some cash, apples pls. But that’s not good enough for the investors, who want guaranteed 5% growth every quarter, so now we’ve got to pour kerosene on the extra apples and force people to go hungry.

      Fun fact: A stable company may appear to be growing by ~3% a year if you don’t account for inflation.

      I guess that’s a silver lining because then investors don’t see a stable company as stagnating.

        Congratulations, you just discovered nominal value.

        Are you really trying to put forth the incredibly naive proposition that the stock market is not aware of inflation?
