> Are we in a race to see who can pop the bubble first?

Just because it's a bubble doesn't mean money can't be made.

If you're worried it and the risk involved, perhaps go from 100% equities (100/0) to an allocation that has some bonds (90/10, 80/20, etc). Rebalance as things get out of whack.

There are products that do this rebalancing for you: target-date funds that increase bond allocation as you get closer to retirement, or fixed-allocation all-in-one funds (VASGX, VSMGX; CA: VEQT/XEQT).

Having some bonds and rebalancing would have saved US domestic investors in the so-called Lost Decade of the '00s:
