when some lender offers you loan rates or terms that sound too good to be true, look for the strings. [2003] - Gary W. Eldred

No more than 5% of your portfolio should be allocated to precious metals. The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) operates much the same as the iShares Gold Trust (IAU). One simple approach to previous-metals investing is worth considering: the ETFS Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (GLTR). In one fund, you get a basket of four precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, and palladium - each in proportion to its economic footprint. Shares are backed up by the physical metals held in vaults. The fund's cost is 0.60% a year. [2013] - Russell Wild

A good time-stop is three times the timeframe you’re using. If you’re using 15-minute charts, you might want to abandon the trade if neither your profit nor your stop loss is hit after 45 minutes. If you’re using 60 minute charts, get out after 3 hours. [2008] - Markus Heitkoetter

More than two servings of fish per week are associated with significantly higher incidence of type 2 diabetes. There is no significant benefit from using fish in your diet at all. The healthful omega-3 fat can be ingested via a supplement (even a vegan DHA/EPA supplement). I do not recommend fish oil capsules regularly because each capsule contains about 1,000 milligrams of oil, and this high dose of fish fat may have a negative effect on diabetes. Instead 150 to 300 milligrams a day is sufficient. Consider the algae-sourced DHA supplements available or DHA/EPA Purity. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman

Statistically, flying is much safer than driving a car. You're approximately 110 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle than in a airplane. In North America, some 37,000 people die in automobile accidents each year (100 people, on average, die on the road every day). [2018] - Tony Martin
