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?

I... guess so?
