To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
Negative Yield
Please click here for inflation-adjusted Treasury real yield.
Note the following:
- The chart shows that the real yield on the 10-year Treasury has become more negative in recent days.
- The real yield is negative due to the stampede into Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). We are receiving a large number of questions from investors regarding investing in TIPS. In due course, we are planning a podcast on TIPS. This will be available to Arora Ambassador Club members.
- Paradoxically, the negative real yield is driving the stock market higher.
- Over the weekend, there has been a big pump about the stock market in social media.
- Many retail investors appear to be rushing to buy stocks this morning based on the social media pump.

Protection Bands and What To Do Now?
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 🔒 in cash or treasury bills or short-term bond funds or allocated to short-term tactical trades, and short to medium-term hedges of 🔒, and short term hedges of 🔒. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
