Quotes of the Day

If you asked her out you should definitely pay, even if she offers to split the bill. If you go on multiple dates with a woman and she eventually suggests an event or dinner, the chances are good that she will offer to pay. If you insist on paying in this instance she may get offended, thinking you didn't respect the fact she has a job and can afford it. [2012] - Christopher Gray

Deferring CPP pension to age 70 forces you to draw down your RRIF assets (or other assets) more quickly before age 70, but those same assets last longer because the CPP pension from age 70 and on is so much bigger. This strategy is only for people with significant savings. For a couple, the threshold is about $400,000. For a single person aged 65 at retirement, it would be about half that. You probably will not want to defer your OAS pension unless your income after 65 is high enough to be subject to the OAS clawback rules. In the case of OAS, the pension at age 70 is only 36% higher than at age 65, not 42%. [2020] - Frederick Vettese

Fibonacci is best used in projecting retracements in a trend. We should use at least on other trend indicator to confirm whether we should do a long trade at a support juncture. [2008] - Yeo Keong Hee

From our perspective on the spouse hunt, we suggest that you spend your money, energy and time on groups where you can see the same people at least once a week or a few times a month. This sensible approach will facilitate and expedite your search for Mr. or Ms. Right. There are many spouse search opportunities that are available: writer training/discussion groups, book reading clubs, cooking training and many kinds of seminars. Remember to attend groups that last at least a few weeks or even months, since it is difficult to do much useful spouse searching on a three-day weekend, no matter how "intense and personal." [2011] - Isabelle Fox

It's true that organic produce is not as rich as it used to be. However, synthetic vitamins and minerals, which the pharmaceutical industry uses in its supplements, are almost always poorly absorbed. Moreover, some are outright damaging, such as vitamins A and E and several of the B vitamins. Vitamins A and E are found in fish oils and soy oil. These have to be avoided since the fatty substances stimulate tumor growth. The only B vitamins that are important to use are B3 (niacin) and B12. The others disturb the metabolism. [2013] - Charlotte Gerson
