Stock market returns and inflation
The stock market has historically returned an average of 10% annually, before inflation. However, stock market returns vary greatly from year-to-year, and rarely fall into that average. This paper investigates the relation between common stock returns and inflation in twenty‐six countries for the postwar period. Our results do not support the Fisher Hypothesis, which states that real rates of return on common stocks and expected inflation rates are independent and that nominal stock returns vary in one‐to‐one correspondence with expected inflation. During years with the highest inflation (quintile 5): Stocks generated the lowest nominal returns, 4% on average, with 56% of years posting a positive return. The real equity returns, at -3.5%, Incorporating inflation data to historical total returns and relative prices produces the following inflation-adjusted graph: As can be seen, the stock market was very profitable, in real terms, in the 1950 to 1965 and 1983 to 2000 periods. On the other hand, it didn't perform well from 1965 to 1983, and neither it did for the last decade. From the origination of the S&P 500 in March 1957 to December 2018, the stock market has returned 9.8% annually with dividend reinvestment (6.7% without dividend reinvestment). This is the historical nominal return for the stock market. After accounting for inflation, the S&P 500 (with dividend reinvestment) In example #2 inflation increased the same as the stock market so the real return is 5% minus 5% so you broke even (before taxes). But after paying taxes on the phantom gain of 5% you will actually lose money.
