To me yes, I have this 10% theory. I prefer to invesr max 10% of the savings to stock and another 10% to crypto.

Rest should go to bonds so that it can earn some interest while keeping the money safe.

we all need to realize that there is a gambling factor in the stock investment. Are we ready to lose the money is the first question everyone should ask.

There is a saying that " higher the risk higher tge return". We need to look at the success % in such casrs.

This means that investors will no longer receive a 3% coupon bond anymore, because they can get better rates with bank deposits. Is this true?<h4>Scenario 1</h4>So naturally the price of the bonds will drop, to say $97.30. So that investors while continue to receive only 3% coupon, will also receive $1.70 ($100 - $97.30) as capital gain, thereby giving them atotal return of 4%. This is known as the Yield to Maturity (aka YTM).<h4>Scenario 2</h4>Correspondingly, if the interest rate dropsdown,the bond price will increase. In the same example above, if interest rate drops to 2%, the price will be at $102.85. essentially investors continues to receive 3% coupon, but will suffer a capital loss of $2.85 at maturity, bringing their YTM to 2% overall.Bonds and interest rates are known to have an inverse relationship, ie when interest ratesgoup, bond prices will come down, and vice versa.
