That's my opinion. Most investors know it's a party, but when will it end? With the election, corona vaccine, and the return to normalcy nearing everyone is wondering how long this will keep up.

The trigger to a stock crash is usually unexpected. I think either car loan or student debt crises but who knows

> Most investors know it's a party, but when will it end?

The thing with bubbles and crashes is that they never come to an end when most investors think they are in it. They only end when most people don’t think they are in one

I think that sounds about right. Short of a complete black swan it's bound to be one or a combination of the factors you mentioned.
It will end when someone makes 3x what they've invested. As always.
What return to normalcy?
P/E ratios < 1000
Remember when a PE of 27 was high? https://boards.fool.com/toyotas-high-pe-ratio-10010880.aspx?...

Now the _average_ is higher!

That doesn't fit the context of the above statement though, which was something about pandemics and general 2020 craziness. There's no indication that a "return to normalcy" regarding that is just around the corner.
