I think the only thing the market has going for it, is that everything else is worse.

Interest rates are negative or near zero, so bonds have the risk of losing value as interest rates rise, as the Fed needs to fight inflation. They also have no real upside, since interest rates are so low.

The Fed has agreed to print unlimited money to prop up businesses that basically don't exist, so having a bunch of cash is not safe, since the Fed is printing so much more of it.

So grossly overvalued stocks may be the best thing now.
