Maybe for stockbrokers in the late 1990s.

A quote from the book "The Rise and Fall of LTCM" has an interesting quote to describe the 1990s:

"It is just not credible that the United States can remain an oasis of prosperity unaffected by a world that is experiencing greatly increased stress." - Greenspan in 1998

With that said... it was a great time.

Even if that sunny optimism was based upon an unsustainable bubble and overhyping of productivity gains from the internet, it should be said that that optimism felt good.
