In other words the whole game of corporate planning is fairly pointless imho and merely a shell game around market growth.
- xyzelement 3y agoWould the market grow if underlying corporations didn't plan how to make money? (at least, that's what I think u r talking about)

- robertlagrant 3y agoThe market only grows because of corporate planning in some way or another.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoThe market grows because people are want to participate in it. See crypto currency. Thats a market that grew with no corporate planning, simply from people increasingly participating. Many people think they should have exposure to markets they don’t fully understand and automatically have a portion of their pay go to such investments made on their behalf, be it crypto or a more ‘grown up’ seeming fund.
- robertlagrant 3y agoWell, lots of crypto grows on the same way that any pyramid scheme grows: they hope there will be many greater fools who will buy in so they can cash out. I don't think that's equivalent to the S&P500's growth over the last 100 years.
