Quotes of the Day

As a rough rule of thumb, many successful traders choose not to risk more than 0.5 to 1% of their trading capital on a single trade. This may seem pathetically low if you’re a big-betting novice trader, but keep betting big and some day soon you won’t be able to bet at all. [2019] - Glen Goodman

When you eat seeds and nuts with your meals, the fatty acids supplied increase the absorption of immune system-supporting micronutrients and phytochemicals significantly. For example, when you eat a nut- or seed-based dressing on a salad, you absorb much more of the carotenoids in the raw vegetables. More than ten times as much of certain nutrients is absorbed. If you are thin, physically active, pregnant, or nursing, eat 2-4 ounces of nuts a day (according to your caloric needs). It is best to eat nuts and seeds raw or only lightly toasted. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Stuff you don't need in your portfolio: REITs, preferred shares, real-return bonds, high-yield bonds, gold, smart beta ETFs, and currency-hedged ETFs. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

The proper way to pyramid is to have the most contracts at the bottom and then, as the trade begins to work, to add fewer and fewer. Thus, if you had started with ten contracts, you’d add seven, and later four, two, and one. [2003] - Marcel Link

TR or time restriction-also known as intermittent fasting-is the latest trend in ways to cut calories. But this can still backfire if you overeat. I have, much to my amusement, watched patients gain weight on a one-meal-a-day approach by turning their meal into a contest to see who could eat the most pizza and ice cream. But the more significant downside of this approach is that most people who try it end up very protein deficient. One not uncommon scenario that we see with TR is that a person loses weight on the scale, but their body composition alters for the worse: they lose lean mass (muscle) while their body fat stays the same or even increases. [2023] - Peter Attia
