Yes and no. The majority of the reasons the market has been up this year is because of Quantitative easing. However, companies have also purposely underreported their quarterly earnings so people keep buying into their bullshit. I'm one of them as well because while I acknowledge our economy WILL crash, it's important to play the game while it exists. I've also increased my holdings of silver to 20% of my portfolio and I suggest everybody do the same.
