Seems the pot, solar, and EV sectors are all hot.

It does seem that way.  Valuations were stupid six weeks or six months ago so buy quality that will actually make money when you can.  A few of the solar stocks prices are totally out of control vs reality earnings.  I am also going to watch what goes down due to the regime change.  This market is so desperate for something to buy and I bet it circles back around soon enough to but the "junk".

I agree. Seems there is an insane amount of money sloshing around, moving from one hot thing to the next. When you have $700B stocks like TSLA moving the way it is, and thinking back to the powerful move in AAPL a few months back, it's just incredible.

Social media and ETF buying creates herds of buyers, moving things higher and higher. Moar stimulus that just passed, and more likely to come just keeps pushing things higher.

Yes, this is classic asset inflation from an increase in the money supply. 

With the real economy in the state that it is in, you would not expect the S&P 500 to have posted 16+% gains in 2020. When you consider that the Fed balance sheet has posted a 100% gain in the same period, the market is actually pricing in economic reality, it's just that there are a lot more dollars in the system. 

If the Fed had done what it did during a period when the economy was healthy and growing, the S&P 500 should probably be over 6,500 by now.
