The value of most of these stocks has decreased while the price has gone up. What we're witnessing is inflation. Any currency that adds trillions of new units overnight will be worth less per unit the next day. If a dollar is worth less, it takes more of them to buy something, making it appear as though stocks are going up. In reality, the price of everything is about to go up, with the exception of wages due to historic unemployment.

> shows the Economy has nothing or very little to do with the stock market.

I disagree. Stock ownership is not universal and fiscal stimulus and unlimited QE, low intrest rates is very good for people who own majorority of stock shares.

If you have access to credit and some political clout you can expect getting richer with no effort over next few years.

It is the other story for the rest.

Some companies are actually having to turn work down. I work for one. I'm not expecting a no raise policy anytime soon.
