It’s great when a plan comes together.
The recipe for not just today’s rally but the whole move since Election Day is easy. Take one part new Administration with expansive plans to boost the US economy. Add in 2 measures of a Federal Reserve confident enough in existing macro growth to boost interest rates. Add a dollop of money flows.

We're gonna need some more hawkish jawboning - as economic growth expectations collapse - to rescue this one...
Stock Market Most Overvalued On Record — Worse Than 1929?
The US stock market today has never been more dangerous and overvalued, according to respected Wall Street market analyst John Hussman.

Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index was +9 for the week ending March 12.
