Quotes of the Day

If you use xylitol gum, do not chew it for longer than 10 minutes-by which time the sweet taste should be gone. Longer gum chewing will bring a different kind of digestive saliva into the mouth, which will dilute and wash away the xylitol-stimulated saliva that is most useful for healing the gums and teeth. It's ideal immediately after each xylitol exposure to have a period when you do not eat or drink for at least an hour-this allows saliva with xylitol dissolved in it to interact with the mouth and teeth, and for xylitol to work in what is called a prebiotic capacity, which serves to nurture the mouth's population of good bacteria. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

Many properties that you can buy for no money down are ones you can't afford to own once you buy them. Often, the condition or problem that makes a seller willing to accept a no-money-down offer transfers with the property and leaves the new owner taking on the same problems that defeated the seller. Many no-money-down deals depend on your ability to flip the property to another buyer quickly before the cash flow requirements of ownership kick in. Once you get one or more properties free and clear, another more conventional way to make no-money-down deals becomes available. You can borrow against a free-and-clear property and pay cash for the new purchase; then it becomes a free-and-clear property. [2004] - Mike Summey

Assume we are in a profitable long position and the market is about to hit our trailing stop, when we have a good entry and nice profits, we sometimes will take out half our profits and place a stop on the other half and just let the market run and see what happens. The decision to get out of all or part of your position is mostly a psychological call. It probably is more appropriate for experienced traders who trust their “feel” of the market. [2004] - Bill Williams

By looking at 60-minute charts, a short-term trader may be able to catch stronger, more stable moves and see things that are not apparent on a 5-minute chart. One can gain a lot by looking at daily and weekly charts because the patterns there are even more significant and can indicate where the real momentum of the market is. [2003] - Marcel Link
