The value proposition of this market now is that new, inexperienced, financially desperate traders are really excited that the market is being spurred on by massive amounts of stimulus. Japanification meets Robinization.

Corporate bond yields are at all-time lows. Prices are at record highs.
The Fed is "leveraging" CARES funds (creating money) to buy these bonds FROM INVESTORS, at public risk. They are not guaranteed by the U.S. govt, nor backed by 13(3) collateral.
