Maybe for silicon valley and money burning enterprises like uber.

They are watching the Fed reduce their purchasing power through money printing and are rightly buying up growth stock as a way to maintain the value of their wealth.

Instead of getting a small slice of the pie, we get a small slice plus a few percentage points (that perhaps we should already get). That's huge for most people that aren't financially independent or even close to it.
