Markets are NOT going up broad based. There are a few leaders carrying the market such as Amazon, Apple, Walmart, Tesla, etc.
Interest rates are zero to negative. My money market fund in annuities is yielding negative. There is no place to earn a return except stock funds.
My portfolio is at all time high if you can believe it.
