"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.

Read Taleb's "barbell strategy". I'll get you a reference some time.
Here it is: The Black Swan, 2nd Edn, page 205-206. He knows (everything).

Yeah but the way u 2 r speaking to me know, its as if im missing something on SLR and TRY that you have.
I mean i know there's diff levels of risk, and SLR/TRY are slightly higher than SBM for example.
But compared to my SBM holdings, SLR and TRY are 2% each.
High chance of return to match their higher risk.
