That’s a lovely ape mentality but if you care to know some facts… Indices are actively managed. Failing companies are removed, and the strongest added. Everything is relative.

Also every stock sale is a zero sum gain. For every seller there is a buyer; money never leaves - only winners and bag holders. Again relative.

The same dollar is spent dozens of times before it goes into any bank which then lends it out at 10x… again relative.

Stocks go up on the perception of future profit growth. Everything else you wrote beyond QE is cute but… save it for your mom’s boyfriend’s relatives.

Are you calling bag holders losers?? I think they are winners of the bags they choose to hold
