On day trades I like to find trades with a minimum of a 2:1 or 3:1 potential payoff, the higher the better. On long-term trades I look for at least a 5:1 reward/risk ratio. [2003] - Marcel Link

Where HIIT intervals are very short, typically measured in seconds, VO₂ max intervals are a bit longer, ranging from 3 to 8 minutes-and a notch less intense. I do these workouts on my road bike, mounted to a stationary trainer, or on a rowing machine, but running on a treadmill (or a track) could also work. The tried-and true formula for these intervals is to go 4 minutes at the maximum pace you can sustain for this amount of time-not an all-out sprint, but still a very hard effort. Then ride or jog 4 minutes easy, which should be enough time for your heart rate to come back down to below about 100 beats per minute. Repeat this 4-6 times and cool down. [2023] - Peter Attia

The Four Habits of Marketing Success: 1. Specialize in one area. 2. Be different from all the rest / competitive advantage (speedy delivery, long-term durability of a product, the location of your business, the personalities of the key people who sell and deliver your product or service, etc.) 3. Determine your best potential customers. 4. Concentrate and focus all of your marketing and sales efforts and energies on those specific customers you have identified as most likely to benefit from what you sell. [2004] - Brian Tracy

It's important to understand that correlations are not constant. The same two assets may trend in opposite directions for a long time-even a decade or more-then move hand-in-hand with each other for a time, and then behave independently. However, there are two asset types that have historically made good dance partners: stocks and high-quality government bonds. In most countries, over the very long term, the two have moved independently and for long periods their correlations have been negative. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
