Why the ASX 200 could be the Nasdaq of 2021

If you’ve grown tired of reading about new record highs on the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ: .IXIC) you may want to skip ahead a bit.

We’ll get back to the increasingly positive outlook for shares on the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shortly.

In case you’re wondering, following yesterday’s gains, it’s now up 85% from the 23 March low.
