    Population and Economy and Stock

    Since I am going to be a chef, I am considering to start investing instead of trading. So let me ask this. Intuitively, as long as the human population continues to grow, the economy has to grow. Right? But what I don't understand is that when economy grows, why the stocks continue to rise...
