An investor on Reddit’s r/stocks questioned how the S&P 500 could grow at 10% annually for 30 more years. With current market cap at $52 trillion, it could reach $900 trillion by 2055. Some Redditors cited inflation, global expansion, and productivity as factors for potential growth.

While some found the idea absurd due to declining birth rates and slowing population growth, others pointed to historical trends and technological advancements driving corporate profits higher. The debate centered around the role of inflation and potential future growth of the S&P 500.

Redditors discussed the impact of AI, renewable energy, automation, and healthcare on corporate profits, suggesting that innovation could lead to substantial growth. The role of the U.S. dollar, historical trends, and inflation in the index’s climb were also debated among users.

Overall, the idea of a $900 trillion S&P 500 divided opinions, with most agreeing that inflation would play a significant role in driving growth. Whether real growth or just more dollars chasing assets, the consensus was that the index might continue its ascent.
