Economies are expected to reach pre-covid levels in a year or two, which is rather short term compared to many investments. Plus, there are some obvious winners even from this situation and people are betting on them.

Additionally, I've seen mentioned as factors companies like Robinhood which let random people invest in a user-friendly manner. I don't have much data on them though.

The key word here is "expected", what will happen in a year or two, no one really knows. And we have the presidential elections in the states coming November. A lot of things depend on that too.

As to Robinhood and Revolut (which is another similar platform), I wonder as well, how much effect they have on the stock markets wild run....
