Why are US shares performing so well when the economy isn't?
BLUF:
[Spectater - America] I am hugely bearish on the economic impact of the pandemic, but I am still adding to my pension every month and it is 80 percent invested in global equities. Why? Because the alternatives are terrible. Currently the 10-year gilt yield gives me just 0.2 percent interest a year, below inflation. I lose the purchasing power of my money by buying UK government debt.

It’s not a great bull argument for shares, but where else do I put my cash?
Emphasis added.
