see above for a very good answer

I'll give my answer

Fed is printing a lot of 'money' with its printing press

some of it is going to large tech because it is 'safe' and still 'growing'

However, there is $3 trillion of money printed, and even more being printed

So, where does this money get put?

Where can it get A RETURN?

Tesla is one answer. That's why Tesla is 1,000 P/E

Another answer is technology companies

Let's say there is Family X, friends of Fed and its printing press

Fed has printed $50 billion for them

Where can they put this $50 billion, so that it doesn't get killed?

A) Big Tech

B) tech that might become big Tech (like Tesla)

C) new tech IPOs

So any tech company that can IPO, should IPO

All this LIQUIDITY/Free Money/Printing Press Money is desperate to find ANY KIND OF RETURN

Also, they have so much money and no where to put it, their thinking is

17 different SaaS companies - at least 1 or 2 will become trillion dollar companies in 15 years

Invest in all 17

They literally 'printed' the money so it costs them nothing
