    Seriously? What index are you looking at?

    Here is the S&P 500 for the last year. It is up to ~1650 from around 1450 at the start of the year. That is a 14% gain in 5 months. Very good. And almost double the average gain for a whole year (averaged over many decades). But hardly 57% in a month. And still only a slight gain from the peak of the dot com bubble 13 years ago. Even during the dot com bubble it took over two years for the S&P500 to gain 57%.
