Gov bonds yield below inflation levels. In such conditions anything that can give you any return is worth extra. Stock market valuations are extreme because the monetary conditions are extreme.

Bleh. When you need a in-browser tool to use a library, you really know it's messed up. Isn't there anything like structopt https://docs.rs/structopt/0.3.19/structopt/ for Python?
