Related - why are there so many IPOs particularly right now?

There are a few more coming, too.

My armchair guess would be, this is a win win market. Its booming, so you can ride it as it goes up. And if you don't do well, you can blame COVID. A lot of companies were on the cusp and this probably accelerates them all.

Just look at the price action on any big tech stock and pretend you're a tech investor looking for a big exit. People are pouring money into equities, particularly tech.

How about the government stimulus has ended, the economy is in horrible shape, and people are just waiting for the economic crash...
