Once the reasons you got into a trade have changed, you should get out of the trade. An example would be when you buy because the market is near a trendline and you think it will continue to trend. If it breaks the line, you were wrong, so don’t hesitate to get out. [2003] - Marcel Link

A good agent can bring you good deals on property when properties hit the market once they know you are a serious buyer. Your real estate agent must understand what you are trying to accomplish with the purchase of your investment properties. They must be willing to be aggressive when negotiating. When looking for my first property, I had a couple of agents tell me that they would not submit the offer as low as I had requested. I moved on to the next agent that was not embarrassed to submit to the initial offer I requested. [2014] - Michael Munsey

Many expatriates (with Americans being an exception) can avoid paying capital gains taxes on investment profits if they invest with firms situated where they won't be charged capital gains taxes and if their resident country won't tax them on foreign earned investment gains. Legal tax havens for investments include locations such as Luxembourg, Singapore, Hong Kong, some of the British Isles, and the Cayman Islands. [2018] - Andrew Hallam

We recommend that employees be with the business for six months before being eligible for paid vacation. They will then get one week in the second half of the year.

Exposing your body to less-than-comfortable temperature is another very effective way to turn on your longevity genes. If you choose to expose yourself to the cold, moderation will be key. Similar to fasting, the greatest benefits are likely to come for those who get close to, but not beyond, the edge. Hypothermia is not good for our health. Neither is frostbite. But goose bumps, chattering teeth, and shivering arms aren't dangerous conditions. And when we experience these conditions often enough, our longevity genes get the stress they need to order up some additional healthy fat. [2019] - David A. Sinclair
