Investors have put more money into stocks in the last 5 months than the previous 12 years combined.

. Trading volume rose 40% in the first quarter from the previous three months, with investors snapping up sectors that performed poorly last year amid hopes for a pronounced economic rebound from the Covid-induced slide in 2020.

Amid the frenzy, some $569 billion has gone to global equity funds since November, compared with $452 billion in the previous 12 years that go back to the beginning of the longest bull market run in history, according to Bank of America's chief investment strategist, Michael Hartnett.Those numbers easily could exacerbate ongoing worries about financial market bubbles as valuations are around the same levels as just before the dot-com bubble popped in 2000. But these are not ordinary times.

"There's a certain amount of logic to markets right now," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. "It's less about irrational exuberance in the overall market, less about the 1999-2000 levels, and more about what's the driver. The driver is clearly an explosion in economic activity that likely will have some earnings growth in its wake."Year-over-year profits are expected to expand by 23.

However, what's even more remarkable is that analysts continue to ratchet up expectations as the profit reports near, which is the opposite of what usually happens. Wall Street generally trims its outlook the closer it gets to the report date.
