Quotes of the Day

The Laws of Decompensation: 1st Axiom: Before--the components of a system are in dynamic balance; 1st Corollary: Conflicting elements are held together by function and purpose. 2nd Axiom: Decompensation is preceded by often-ignored warning signs; 2nd Corollary: During early destabilization, imbalance is assessable. 3rd Axiom: Last-straw principle: When threshold is exceeded, collapse occurs; 3rd Corollary: Recovery requires repair and stabilization of all elements. The laws of decompensation apply to many things in life that appear to happen slowly, even silently, then all of a sudden. (Such events even include dissimilar things like divorce and the failure of a business.) [2015] - Jamie Koufman

Knowing the trend at any given time is absolutely essential to analyzing charts effectively. A potential method that can be used for dealing with trends and timeframes is to concentrate on the trend indicated by a timeframe 4–6 times longer than the one traded. Although there are certainly a substantial number of successful counter trend technical traders, there are arguably more successful traders that are of the trend-following persuasion. [2009] - James Chen

The way I like to trade a scheduled report is by looking at how the market reacts just a few minutes before the release of scheduled news. Whichever direction it’s moving in is what the consensus is thinking. Many times the initial response after the announcement is a spike upward which quickly retraces, sometimes to keep going lower and sometimes to come back and rally. The best thing to do in these situations is to sit back, wait until the market picks a clear direction and the noise settles. Once the market has picked its direction, there is still a lot of room to make money. [2003] - Marcel Link

Tomatoes offer more lycopene for lowering heart disease risk than any other food source. You can also get your daily dose of that tomato antioxidant lycopene from watermelon and red grapefruit. Stick with the reds for lycopene; green and yellow tomatoes are lycopene-poor. Cooked and canned tomato sauce and paste (yes, even ketchup) appear to offer more lycopene than a tomato out of the hand. The protective dose of lycopene is 35 milligrams, which is the amount in 2 cups of tomato juice or cooked tomato products. While cooking increases the lycopene fourfold, eating your tomato raw gives you 40% of what the government considers your RDA for vitamin C. Have your tomatoes both ways. [2009] - Frances Sheridan Goulart

Neither the police nor the RCMP has the authority to evict tenants. The police may attend the occasion to prevent the breach of peace but they cannot play any role in evicting the tenant, however, the police will attend and remove the tenant if required to do so by the court bailiff. [2015] - Kris Anderson
