Can the stock market outperform the economy?
water_skipper asked:
Can the stock market outperform the regular market (economy)? There’s something I don’t understand. Let’s say there’s 100 corporations and those corporations control the entire economy. Let’s say those corporations each have a PE of 20. Now let’s say over 100 years, the economy has grown at an annual rate of 6%. If their PEs are still 20, then wouldn’t that have meant their stock value has grown at an annual rate of 6% too. I know this is a simplified example, but I just don’t understand how “the economy” can grow at a different rate than “the market.” Long answers are welcome, if they’re understandable.
