Can the stock market outperform the regular market (economy)? There’s something I don’t understand. Let’s say there’s 100 corporations and those corporations control the entire economy. Let’s say those corporations each have a PE of 20. Now let’s say over 100 years, the economy has grown at an annual rate of 6%. If their PEs are still 20, then wouldn’t that have meant their stock value has grown at an annual rate of 6% too. I know this is a simplified example, but I just don’t understand how "the economy" can grow at a different rate than "the market." Long answers are welcome, if they’re understandable.

If I have accumulated some stock market losses this year, how will I be able to deduct them from my taxes? It looks like I’ll only be able to deduct k this year. What happens next year? If next year is a good year, will the remainder of the losses go towards cancelling next years gains (hopefully)? Or will only k of that go towards gains each year? In that event, it could take a long time to deduct these losses at k a year. I’ll have to keep the year-end statement for a long time this year.
