When an individual feels the market has reached too high a point for further common stock investment, then a change to a more defensive position is warranted. To accomplish this change, long term bonds and/or preferred stocks are substituted for common stocks. This change will ensure that very little dollar value of the portfolio will be lost if a downturn in the stock market should occur. 2, record 3, English, - defensive%20position

Lorsque l'on sent que le marché a atteint un niveau trop élevé pour faire de nouveaux placements en actions ordinaires, il est justifié de procéder à des opérations en vue de prendre une position plus défensive. Pour ce faire, on remplace les actions ordinaires par des obligations à long terme ou par des actions privilégiées. Ceci permet de réduire au maximum les pertes que l'on subirait sur le portefeuille s'il se produisait une baisse des cours. 2, record 3, French, - position%20d%C3%A9fensive
