QE is most certainly responsible for the crazy SV valuations. While the Fed is printing money to solve depressions in Alabama and Illinois, places like SV, which are growing a >10% a year, are getting all capital benefits.
It's not the QE money pumping up Twitter, it's a combination of tech being hot and a limited number of shared available (much of TWTR is still in lockup). If it were QE you'd see all sorts of firms with crazy valuations, but the standard blue chips are still pretty standard.
