The article brings some sense of reality to an otherwise crazy market.

I am "retired" (well at least beyond retirement age). My two sons are 30+ years younger than I. My financial objectives are far different then both. Whereas, I would like to make money on my stock investments, more importantly, I do not want to lose money. That is, I can live on what I have. Many of my son's friends have little in retirement saving, but are willing to bet on a "greater fool" willing to buy a security or bond at a much higher price. They have no need to look at P/E, S/P, or any other the statistics that I would look at before buying a security. All that matters to them is perception that a "greater fool" will purchase the security at a higher price in the next day, week or coming month(s). If they lose $2000 on bet, no big thing. Try again.

As the Feds give this population of younger betters more money to bet with, their chances increase on having a winning bet simply because these "prisoners" are given free resources to continue their endeavor. If they lose a significant portion, so what? The money was free and unearned in the first place. Whereas, my resources were hard-earned over a lifetime.
