Like current raging Bull in US mkt now; nothing seen stoppable!
In 2006 to 2007; Uncle8888 also felt the same; don't worry; the party is not ending and FI is coming soon!
Bull Market is likely to make us to think that we are way smarter than Mr Market; unless we have at least went through one full market cycle to validate ourselves i.e. Bull-Bear-Bull or Bear-Bull-Bear!
Beware of illusionary wealth in the Bull market till you convert the illusionary wealth into something more solid or less volatile!

After surviving multiple body blows and cuts, we optimise instead of maximise.
We console ourselves that earn less is better than losing money ;)
We have our own crash got sound stories on what happens when we overstayed our welcome trying to chase that extra drop of blood in % returns...
LOL!
