Ultimately, I'll move things to a more conservative account or simply divest all together if there is a crash but until then I'll simply ride the wave with my momentum stocks mixed with some value stocks that are still down by ~ 50% since March.  I do admit, the more things go up the more nervous I get though.  This is totally crazy !!!  it's almost like a gameshow where you can keep advancing or cash in, only in this case, i can keep advancing with the option to take a step back and still cash in.

You will "...divest all together if there is a crash..." ??

Would that be after the crash or before the crash?  Because after the crash means you have lost your money.  And you will lock in your losses by selling after a crash.  Before the crash means you have successfully predicted a market crash, which is pretty impossible.  And selling during a crash is also pretty impossible, because everyone is selling and no one is buying.
