Stay humble with your investing. We are in a new kind of environment with the 10-year Treasury sitting at ~2006 levels. Many of us do not have extensive investing experience with interest rates at current levels, and the implications across the entire portfolio. It's a great time to move slowly, practice prudent diversification, have a long-term approach, and remain thirsty for knowledge. I still see a world of opportunity and will continue to average into high-quality dividend growth stocks, but I do not believe the quick and easy gains are going to be as readily available in this environment. Patience will be key, which is thankfully not that difficult for long-term, DGI investors. The silver lining: Current yields should (continue to) adjust (to higher levels) to reflect the "risk free" rate, which means higher starting yields on net new (and reinvested) capital.
