Quotes of the Day

A great ploy is going to places where men are supposed to be helpless and look helpless. If a chick doesn't take pity on you and offer her help, ask for it. In the supermarket (women love men who cook), you might ask her for example, "Uh, excuse me, do you know if this mango has to be cooked before eating?" In the laundromat (women also adore men who do their laundry), you might say, for example, "Gosh, do you think it's OK if I put this red T-shirt in with my white dress shirts?" [2006] - Leil Lowndes

I love using limit orders because they allow me to go about my life without worrying about prices too much while the markets do their usual movements. I’m not a big fan of stop-losses. Volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies normally bounce back up from the lows as rapidly as they fall. That’s why by using a stop-loss order, you may end up getting out of your position prematurely and miss out on potential gains. Short-term traders are more likely to use stop-losses. Long-term investors are supposed to have made the risk-management calculation ahead of time, making sure they have enough time to wait things out. [2019] - Kiana Danial

You can tell whether a food is rich in antioxidants by slicing it open, exposing it to air (oxygen), and then seeing what happens. If it turns brown, it's oxidizing. Think about our two most popular fruits: apples and bananas. They turn brown quickly, which means there aren't a lot of antioxidants inside them. (Most of the antioxidants in apples are in the peels.) Cut open a mango and what happens? Nothing happens, because there are lots of antioxidants in there. The food category that averages the most antioxidants is herbs and spices. High-antioxidant fruits and vegetables, such as berries and greens, have been found to douse systemic inflammation significantly better than the same number of servings of more common low-antioxidant fruits and veggies, such as bananas and lettuce. [2015] - Michael Greger

Eat water-rich foods, meaning fresh fruits or vegetables, or their juices freshly squeezed. Drink distilled water. Eat only one condensed food (not rich in water) at a meal. Don't eat starchy carbohydrates and protein at the same meal. Don't have those meat and potatoes together. After eating a properly combined meal, one must wait at least three and a half hours before ingesting any other foods. Also, it is important to note that the drinking of fluids at meals dilutes the digestive juices and slows the digestive process. [1989] - Anthony Robbins

In an ideal world, an investor would put at least $1,000 into a stock. In my opinion, this is the minimum required to avoid excessive transaction fees and start building a healthy dividend growth portfolio. If you can build a portfolio with 10 stocks that are worth between 20 and 25K, you will have a great portfolio started. [2012] - Mike Heroux
