  2. Thou shall not live beyond thy means.

  3. Thou shall not attempt to time the market.

  4. Thou shall not give unearned money to thy children, robbing them of a vital learning opportunity.

  5. Thou shall not abandon investment discipline during a Bear Market.

  6. Thou shall not abandon investment discipline during a Bull Market.

  7. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s hedge funds.

  8. Thou shall not hire a money manager based on recent track records.

  9. Thou shall not overpay for the delivery of investment advice.
