I'm not against your idea, but your arguments are a little wobbly. > It is the growth companies who don't own factories yet, who are raising money today that get hurt by inflation. Yep. They, too, compete with opportunities like bonds and savings account. > But the factory loans that Apple bought 5 or 10 years ago are in 2010 dollars and will remain so. Lots of companies have issued bonds at very good interest rates. They're not mostly for factories. Apple's been borrowing money at rock-bottom rates to do share buybacks, because the money's basically-free. > It is the growth companies who don't own factories yet, who are raising money today that get hurt by inflation. So how many growth stocks are investing big into building massive manufacturing operations, Elon? I can think of around one, but certainly not Apple.
