"I'm feeling all anxious now"
Old Wall St slogan: "Markets climb a Wall of Worry". It's normal to be anxious. Stocks are by definition, "risk assets" vs. say Govt Bonds. Of course some are riskier than others . An unfortunate aspect of ZIRP in US, is that (older) folks living off Bond yields etc are getting less and less. They're - against their will - pushed into riskier assets classes, such as stocks.
