The Treasury market is nearing levels that risk triggering a large selloff, pushing yields on 10-year bonds back to 5%, according to Vanguard.
&ldquo We are in a danger zone right now,&rdquo Ales Koutny, head of international rates at Vanguard, said in an interview. Even a small move higher &mdash past the critical 4.75% level &mdash could force investors to abandon their bets on a rally, giving way to a wave of selling that could push yields toward the highs of 2007, he said.
Now that the ten commandments of investing are out, it is time to put into practice.

Investment commandment 9 -
Invest regularly...
to grow steadily
This is one of the best advice and also one of the easiest to implement:
invest regularly, with a set amount to be invested each month or trimester.
This is the best way to inflate your wealth gradually. You save AND make
your money work for you. You also modulate your cost price and reduce
the risk of bad timing. Besides, it will also save you from having to think
about timing, which, let&rsquo s not forget, is counterproductive. Remember that
the vast majority of companies increase in value over time. Pennies excluded. As your portfolio
gradually moves with the markets, it will take on the same path. Hopefully!
Investment commandment 8 -
Think about costs&hellip
Think about costs&hellip
and taxes
Choose your broker carefully, to get the right intermediary to spend your
orders. An investor should only select a broker after having defined its needs:
hedging, instruments, prices, features... It is easy to compare offers. Try to
avoid costs that belong to the past, such as custodial fees, bookkeeping
fees and penalties and of inactivity.
Let&rsquo s not forget about tax. If you want
Let&rsquo s not forget about tax. If you want
to be able to take out your money at any time, the ordinary securities
account remains unavoidable. But from a medium-term investment
point of view, it is relevant to opt for schemes such as life insurance, that
will help reduce your tax burden.

God' s Ten Commandments to Israel for living were indeed given on Mt. Sinai to be obeyed forever.
My ten commandments for investing were lifted from Marketscreener to be shared as coffee talk.
Maybe you can share with us the golden rule for trading the Dow futures, of which I have observed is bringing you scrambled eggs and bacon on your breakfast table every morning?
As for the Golden Rule in life is simply this:
Do for others what you would have them do to you.
己 所 不 欲 ， 勿 施 于 人 。
Bros fatpanda and Shangli would have been proud this thread has been dedicated to them and to you all!

Investment commandment 7 -
Forget about market timing...
Forget about market timing...
look far ahead, time is on
your side.
When money works hard, you get more return: it is a basic economic rule. By
letting your earnings and dividends work, you benefit from the virtuous effect
of compound interest, a powerful performance multiplier.
A research on the French index revealed that between 2008 and 2018, an
investor betting on CAC40 companies by reinvesting the dividends received
would have earned more than 110%, compared to 54% for the one cashing in.
Numerous studies prove that the search for the best timing leads to lower
capital gains: the perfect investor does not exist. Beware those who claim to
buy at the lowest and sell at the highest, because unless you are incredibly
lucky, it is impossible to predict these extremes.
Watch out for « perma-bears» , those prophets of doom who howl with the
wolves but have never built anything. Those who have never entered the
market for fear of a future decline are often those who have never become
rich. People like pandas seem to be like that, but are actually more neutral than bearish.
Confirmed investors know that they must take advantage of air pockets,
and these opportunities should not be a cause of stress, because they help
investors enter the market under more favorable conditions.
As emphasized time and again, we do NOT need to pick a bottom, just a reasonable price that has not been inflated.

A look back in hindsight over last week's action in the article above.
It seems treasury yields were rising to record levels. This is sometimes seen as an indicator of a retreat into safe haven assets from risky stocks. Many top professional SG fund managers wake up early to see the dow close and check for treasury yields for possible direction in the markets.
I think we can also learn from these professional fund managers, the bbs as we call them, how to size up market sentiment and differentiate between risk on and risk off seasons. We can thereby adjust our exposures to risk assets accordingly.

Investment commandment 6 -
Accept volatility...
Accept volatility...
it comes with liquidity...
On stock markets, some periods are more turbulent than others. Investing for
the long term also means knowing how to handle these difficult times: while
the stock market moves up and down a lot, overall, it rises.
Generally speaking, financial markets value companies according to profit
multiples, a fairly volatile line on the income statement. Sometimes, you have
to accept large fluctuations.
Liquidity is one of the advantages of investing in the stock market. This
means that sums invested in listed companies are easily recoverable. It is
even a major asset, especially when comparing the stock market with real
estate. Although both investments can be worthwhile, the stock market is
much easier to access: no money tied up, no debt needed to get started, no
high mandatory fees, no delays. Not to hide anything from you, long-term
performance is also largely in favor of the stock market over real estate. And
don&rsquo t forget that shares are parts of a company: behind a stock, there is a real
asset... as in real estate.
So, don' t be discouraged by current volatility in the stock market, in reits as an asset class etc. They are temporary. We learn to patiently grow with the stock market.

Investment commandment 5-
Spread your risk, and your
Spread your risk, and your
exposure to sectors and
geographies
Having a balanced distribution of your investment will help you stay calm,
even during less favorable stock market periods. First of all, it&rsquo s important
to factor in your risk tolerance, otherwise it can be a source of anxiety, bad
choices and a cause for panic. Every investor is different according to his or
her age, resources and needs...
Diversification is important to spread risk in an investment strategy. It can be
geographical and/or sectoral and/or between asset classes and/or between
company size and type... Each investor has his preferences.
Academic research estimates that no more than 30 stocks should be
included in a portfolio. Beyond that, diversification becomes too marginal to
bring benefits. In the long run, a portfolio of 20 stocks is a good compromise
for an individual investor. It is the size of the real portfolios managed by
MarketScreener.
Panda' s portfolio size is between 20-30 stocks, as recommended above.

Also, consider balancing your portfolios between cyclical and defensive
stocks, to have a good balance between potential and safety
Commandment 4
Invest in sectors that you
Invest in sectors that you
understand, and ideally master
In all circumstances, respecting the stock market rule « invest only in what you
understand» avoids many disappointments. This is one of the guidelines of
famous American investor Warren Buffett, who believes that the investment
universe is sufficiently broad, so no one should be forced to invest in certain
parts of the economy that are too complex.
If you have a particular expertise in a trade or sector, use it: it is safer to position
yourself on companies whose ins and outs are well understood.
Above all, watch out for the providers of exceptional « tips» , especially those
that abound on stock market forums, forums like this one.
Investment commandment 3 -
Select companies that are
Select companies that are
in good shape...
and avoid speculation
The companies that guarantee the best performance/risk ratio are those that
have good margins, strong growth and low debt. Of course, this kind of
business is rather rare and one must take the time to identify those that exist
right now, or, better yet, identify those that will exhibit these characteristics
in the near future. When companies are in good shape, time is on your side
because these will eventually grow and gain in value. They also have a risk
profile compatible with your long-term ambitions.
The counterpart to this principle is that an investor should not give in to the
sirens of quick and easy money. On the stock market, anything that seems
to offer exceptional compensation involves exceptional risk. As a long-term
investor, it is best not to seek to capitalize on speculation. Beware
ultra-speculative situations, which are irrelevant for long-term investment:
the companies that cannot finance themselves, those that are on the verge
of bankruptcy, those whose stock price is on the floor... Everything that
shines bright for a little while does not turn into gold.
Investment law two:
In these uncertain times, so important to do this:
Define the size of your
In these uncertain times, so important to do this:
Define the size of your
budget dedicated to trading...
so you&rsquo re never forced to sell
To make money in the long run, you have to stay invested. That goes without
saying, you might say. Staying invested allows an investor to weather the storms
and benefit from whole expansion periods, which are far more numerous than
times of crisis. This also means that you should set your budget in a way that you
never have to dip into the investment pocket, barring rare exceptions.
It&rsquo s important to remain realistic about your financial capacities. Having a
detached view of periodic turmoil and knowing precisely how much you are
prepared to invest will allow you to stay focused on the long term... and to remain
serene.
One more thing: beware the leverage effect, which commits an investor to sizes of
operations that are too large for its resources and which can be a source of stress
and bad decisions. It can also lead to margin calls, sometimes forcing him to sell
at the worst time.
