• The stock market still has "a ways to go" even as it approaches record all-time highs, according to Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel.
• In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, Siegel said that the increased liquidity from central bank policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will flow into stocks, pushing them past record highs.

• And with bond yields near record lows, there is no alternative to stocks, Siegel argued.
