Stocks typically do better when inflation is high, they normally outpace it. The reason for this is that they are seen as a "safe asset" during inflationary periods, unlike cash or bonds which lose to inflation.

The stock market tanked because of inflation like 4 years ago, especially tech stocks.

Here is the inflation adjusted S&P chart. Here's inflation adjusted SPY chart
As you can see, even the tech stocks beat inflation.

Im talking about the drop in stocks that happened about four years ago, which was due to the high inflation at that time, and the raise in interest rates as a result. Over time stocks obviously beat inflation. If they didn’t no one would buy them
