Lot of bears have come out of the closet & forecasting the next big stock market crash, carnage in midcaps etc. However, if you are invested in the right company & paid a fair price for your stocks, you are safe. To achieve consistent outperformance, you have got to focus on risk control. Avoid mad rush to buy stocks at any price. In bull markets all kinds of terminologies pop up !
