Quotes of the Day

Sometimes, instead of prescribing a BzRA for sleep, physicians prescribe a low does of an antidepressant (such as trazodone) or antipsychotic medication. It's debatable whether this type of low-dose treatment of insomnia is better than treatment with BzRAs. Stopping these medications after months or years of taking them is usually more straightforward than stopping BzRAs, although they should be gradually reduced, rather than stopped abruptly, over weeks. [2021] - Judith R.

A high stock market allocation leads to higher long-term returns compared to portfolios with lower stock allocations. I’m not talking about ten-year returns. That’s short-term. Over thirty-year durations, portfolios with higher stock allocations have historically won. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

Estimate your protein target: 1) Estimate the daily energy (calorie) requirement for your age, sex, and level of activity. You can do this by using something called the Harris Benedict equation calculator, available online at numerous websites. 2) Estimate the portion of those calories that should come as protein (i.e., your protein intake target) by multiplying that value by: Child and adolescent: 0.15 (i.e., a 15% protein diet) / Young adult (18–30): 0.18 / Pregnant and breastfeeding: 0.20 / Mature adult (30s): 0.17 / Middle years (40–65): 0.15 / Older age (>65): 0.20 3) Divide that number by 4 to get the number of grams of protein per day you should eat. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

A divergence is created in an up move when the Price is higher than it was at the most recent Price peak and the Momentum (as measured by the 5/34 AO histogram) is lower than the Momentum peak that was at the last Price peak. Most markets tend to turn on a double divergence. A double divergence in an up market requires a Price peak followed by a higher Price peak (first divergence), and that higher peak is followed by a still higher Price peak. The Momentum is highest on the first Price peak, lower on the second Price peak, and still lower on the third Price peak. If the market doesn't turn on a double divergence, it will most likely turn on a triple divergence. Only perhaps once or twice a year will you see a quadruple divergence. [1998] - Bill Williams

It’s much easier to view the long-term trends using a logarithmic chart. Log charts allow us to see percentage changes in price rather than absolute prices. For example, the vertical distance between $20 and $60 is the same as the distance between $200 and $600 and is the same as the distance between $2,000 and $6,000. [2019] - Glen Goodman
