Summary
The author, a self-described newbie, asks where the influx of capital driving the US stock market’s rapid growth (their portfolio up ~80%) is coming from.
They speculate between tech companies’ cash reserves and foreign capital seeking stability, but lack a firm thesis—this is more of a curiosity post than a directional call.
Quality assessment: Noise. The post is a basic market-structure question with no original research, data, or specific stock analysis.

Newbie here - I don't really do complex analysis of stock trends/full blown out supply chains with all the players. I've mostly just focused on tech stocks I believed in/ETFs. But, my stock portfolio has grown insanely the past year (80% ish) and I'm trying to understand the stock market a bit more.
Where is all the money coming from? Is it only just top tech companies dipping into cash reserves? Or is this accelerated growth driven by foreign money who want to bet on US tech companies/who are putting money into the US for stability?
