This is an end stage options dominated market where there is no more natural alpha to chase, there is no more value or productivity gains or anything like that to price in. The only way line keeps going up is if all the big players keep raping retail ports that make the mistake of thinking options might work for them. The moment retail stops buying options this thing craters to the center of the earth, but ironically every time it dips we all pile back into options harder and harder. Thats why they are pushing so hard for 23/5 options market, and pushing the sports betters here into the markets. The only way to keep the ponzi going is getting more and more idiots in to throw their money into the options market so that MM's can steal it through manipulation. They literally set the prices of options you know, they can just set them to whatever is necessary to manipulate the market to their portfolios favor no matter what. These ridiculously low VIX days that appear out of no where all the time where the market just stays pinned in a 10 cent range for hours? Those are the days of maximum retail port destruction, and they fuel the entire scheme.
