For the past few years I had this feeling of unease that this wild market was finally going to end in a correction and yet it just kept bouncing back. I have no clue what to believe anymore but I still have the feeling something bad will come.

This feeling is what i'd call the risk of investing. And it never goes away in any period, because if it did go away, then the stock market would be under-valued and would be bought up to the price such that this feeling would return.

The US equities market has been on a non-stop tear (Covid dip excluded) since 2008. It’s up 300%.

If you’ve been in the whole time the returns have been some of the best since the 1990’s.

A bird flu case found in a US prison might be more than just a bad feeling. Although, statistically it's very unlikely to have two pandemics in such short period of time.
