How Does the Nasdaq Keep Crushing the Stock Market?

Investors in the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) were flying high again on Thursday. The index of stocks on the Nasdaq Stock Market once again dramatically outpaced the rest of the market, rising almost 1.5% compared to just a 0.1% gain for the Dow Jones Industrials.

From day to day, of course, anything can happen. But this has been a consistent theme throughout 2020. So far this year, the Nasdaq is up a stunning 26%. The Dow's actually down 2% on the year.

So what is it that's lifting the Nasdaq to such unprecedented heights? There's a combination of factors at play to give the Nasdaq its day in the sun.
