5. The Fed loose money policy almost guarantees a continuously rising market

That is to say when the central banks created $20T of money after the 2008 meltdown and have continued to expand the money supply, not to mention another $4 trillion in crypto created out of thin air, that money has to go somewhere. It has mostly gone into capital markets, continuously driving up the price.

So I wouldn't count on the markets staying down. However, this war is EXTREMELY costly, and Trump already had deficit spending jacked to the breaking point, and that was before the bottom fell out of the employment numbers. So it is anybody's guess where we go from here.
