Hi,
Conservative investors should be focused more on achieving goals, and as long as they can keep Debt : Equity ratio, close to the required ratio, for the specific financial goal, they should be all right.
When prices of some assets go up in one direction, one can use this to reduce that asset allocation, and balance the Debt : Equity ratio for few financial goals.This allows you to book profits when required, and also invest more money at other times when required.
There will be tendency from time to time to justify such exorbitant prices of certain assets like Equity, or Gold, but that should not be the worry for most. Major worry should be - Are you moving closer to your financial goals? If that is happening, in the end, you should be satisfied as an investor who is focused on achieving your financial goals. In fact, such high prices can help you to achieve certain goals faster (by booking some profits and shifting that to fixed return assets), and you can then allocate some funds for other financial goals which you may not have considered earlier.
It is not as simple as it sounds, but an investor is better off practicing it to the extent possible.

Fascinating article. Lyn writes “To the extent that an investor chooses to speculate in digital assets other than bitcoins, they should always be able to answer the question “what are the trade-offs?” for one protocol compared to another before they decide to buy. Overall, I conceptualize bitcoins as monetary assets, and smart contract platform tokens as equity securities.”
