There were unprecedented levels of government spending. Borrowing money was basically free. Public companies were seeing massive growth and record profits. The stock market could do no wrong. When interest rates started to rise and government stimulus dried up, the stock market had a wakeup call in 2022 and 2023. We were returning to a more normal economic environment and many  thought that a recession was just around the corner.
