Something is suspicious about a "net growth" chart that doesn't go below 0% ever.


Why? I'm assuming if you looked at say the auto industry you'd see the same trend as net prices rise to account for inflation.


I think he means inflation adjusted. I feel the same way about any large public firm that beats Standard and Poors for decades. It seems suspicious.
