Exactly.

One of the main reasons to invest in the stock market is to beat the rate inflation.

Governments will claim that inflation only runs at 2% - 3%, but that is an outright lie. Over the past 10 years, almost everything has appreciated dramatically in price. Housing costs have gone through the roof. The average sales price for a home in the US 10 years ago was about $265,000. It is now about $430,000.

Costs for education, health care, automotive, etc, have also gone ballistic over the years.

So anyone that has been in KBLB for 10 years has lost quite a lot due to inflation over time.
