this build up seems strange to me. Almost like a spigot was turned off for 6 years and then it opened again.

There's no rhyme or reason to it that I can see. Companies aren't going wild with new tech, retail giants are closing, and we haven't got to Mars yet.

Seems like splitting stock and buy backs are doing the job they were intended to. Make the wealthy wealthier.

And they have enough money invested in it they can disrupt it.

If you remember during Bush the lesser's reign when they would start going after Iran? China backs Iran. They started a selloff that forced the markets to close early.
