After an unprecedented crash last March when the coronavirus pandemic swept across the country, the stock market did something surprising. It surged. The S&P 500 has jumped nearly 75% since then, a remarkable run in less than a year, and one that has come while a global pandemic is still raging and the U.S. faces an economic crisis.
