Quotes of the Day

Global Nomad portfolios (single, globally diversified portfolios that have no home‐country bias) would work well for couples that don't know where they want to retire. They would also suit couples retiring in an emerging‐market country. Emerging‐market countries have small, volatile markets. Retirees who choose to invest with a “home‐country” emerging‐market bias would be taking unnecessary risk. Instead, they could spread their risk across a multitude of global economic regions. [2018] - Andrew Hallam

Online dating sites and mobile dating apps give you mate-search superpowers. Each site or app tends to specialize in different mating goals (e.g. AdultFriendFinder for casual sex with "hot, horny singles...NOW!," Tinder and Zoosk for short-term dating, Match.com, eHarmony, and PlentyofFish for longer-term relationship, OKCupid for polyamory). [2015] - Tucker Max

Total cholesterol is not a predictor of future heart disease; LDL cholesterol is a marginal risk factor; and HDL cholesterol is a fourfold better predictor of risk than LDL cholesterol and the only reliable predictor of risk for people over 50. Saturated fat raises HDL cholesterol while carbohydrates lower it. Trans fats are an entirely unnatural substance that contribute to insulin resistance and inflammation. We recommend cooking with olive oil, coconut oil, and grass-fed ghee. Oils that are predominantly monounsaturated--olive oil, avocado oil, and nut oil among others--increase calcium absorption. [2016] - Laura Kelly
