Future Stock Market Growth

The Congressional Budget Office has indicated from its studies that U.S. economic growth will average a little more than 2% a year over the next 70 years. It had been about 3,5%, from the 1950s on.

There are many reasons why estimates for future economic growth are dismal, including our enormous debt which must be serviced. Moreover, it’s highly likely future interest costs will be much higher than they are today.

The specter of inflation all this imposes makes stock market growth difficult. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
