    [QUOTE=SBQ;813190]There is no disconnect. The reality is those with $ are sick with holding cash in the bank account. Low interest rates = only fools hold cash in the bank account for long periods of time. I know specifically those that accumulated cash reserves in the short term for the sole intention to buy equities. This is apparently in Warren Buffet's recent annual meeting where they said for the individual, holding gov't bonds that pay insane low interest rates - what does that mean when you factor inflation? Look at the 10 year bond rates?

    Investors are looking out for the longer term. They see people WILL go back to shopping, go to dining, go on travels, just like before. Why? Because like previous pandemics, they not permanent and human innovation always trumps fear. Vaccines will aid in getting out of the COVID19 transistion.[/QUOTE



    Just because investors need to park funds somewhere does not necessarily make the stock market a good idea.

    The long term investments you are referring to, first need to give a positive return.

    How do you think these businesses are going to prosper in this current environment.

    In case you haven't noticed the US economy is on the brink of meltdown.
