Stock prices instead are based on what traders think other traders will pay for the stock in the near future.

Just replace “stock” with “house” and you will see that this represents the reason we just had a housing bubble.
I’m not wishing for the stock market to tumble, I just don’t see what is supposed to be so rosy out there just yet. If we were going green,building/buying smaller cars,converting from gas to diesel,investing in solar, or producing more as a nation I would be more optimistic.
