I said this last thread but no one replied because I forgot to post an image:

i dont believe the market will go down until there's somewhere else to put money. a little investor might sell his $1000 worth of SPY because hes scared, and put that money in his checking account.
financial institutions hate sitting on money. it defeats the point of their existence. so they'll gamble and try to make money grow.
now, let's say you distrust the stock market. most financial analysts do right now. even the bulls are hesitantly optimistic.
where else can you put your money? bonds? interest rates are down so low, you're practically losing money. real estate? there was a crash, and then a false resurrection caused by constricted supply. unless the economy recovers, real estate will bleed back down. buying in now is retarded when you can just wait a few months.
(all that leaves are a few volatile alternatives, like precious metals or crypto. financial institutions dont like investing large percentages of their assets in those.)
why, then, sell stocks? what else is better?
besides, everyone knows that:
a) QE inflates security prices, so you might as well ride that bull
b) Businesses are taking advantage of easy money to pursue stock buybacks, rising prices even higher
c) Every other player is facing the same predicament as you, and therefore will likely hold / buy more stocks.
something will eventually shift slightly, causing a massive crash.

is this true or am i completely wrong? i dont exactly have a degree in this shit
