Yep, their value never changes, which means that if you invested your savings in them, you'd get no returns.

Tell me, where do you invest your retirement savings?

The value of a business is not, or should not entirely be, measured by its return on investment. You are making the GP's point for them. That some continue growth, and that's where we choose to invest, doesn't mean all should or that it is beneficial that all do.

No, it is the opposite. The return on investment is measured by the value of the business.

Would you invest your retirement savings on a charity that will return 0%?
