Everybody is ignoring inflation and discounting their and my sale price expectations by 10-15%/year while my brokerage bank is paying me a few tenths of a percent on my cash balance. Can someone tell me where other than my IOC shares I can get 10-15% return while retaining an inflation proof asset stored underground as security? 10-15% discounting of inflation proof assets just seems ridiculous to me. 5 seems a lot more reasonable.
Yep, PE ratio. Agree with you on the "real" rate of return.
