Stocks are up because there is where else to park the money. That post COVID fed easy money policy may very well cost us big gig time by 2030.

I have my little “fun money” account that i basically play with and it has grown substantially with all of these market swings and emotional market reactions. I only keep high volatile stocks in there, but do cooling off periods when something dramatic shifts with a company like crowdstrike. That cooling off period doubled my purse. Enough so that i had to break half of it off and move that into our regular brokerage. However the remainder is now back into the extreme volatility and it’s been fun to play with since iran.

Thankfully, it's not 3 years but most people are missing the economic point and just focusing on Trump as a few posters have accurately stated. The market is up because the US economy is doing damn well DESPITE the idiot in charge. That could of course change at any time.

Yes, we absolutely can. And we pretty much have to so make it work.

It's called not having our heads shoved up our rears

As an earlier PP said, everyone is choosing to see through their own lens.
