“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• Trend
• Banks need to get their money back after march drop
• Trump poll position continues to drop with no negative market reaction. Looks like markets are factoring in chance of Biden win with little impact. also massive amounts of money on sidelines will eventually have to be deployed. Those hoping for rising rates will be crushed and will throw in the towel which will be the point to reassess.
• Continued QE by the Fed, liquidity measures of the banks.
• Even with all the negative news regarding Covid on Friday, the early dip was bought, and looked strong into the close. The high momentum looks like a positive sign.
• Too many bears out there

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• Too much money chasing stocks. overvalued. PE to high.
