Quotes of the Day
If you have money readily available, you can take advantage of opportunities, whether it be a distress sale, or a downward market. We can use a line of credit to buy one or multiple properties and use the income accrued from the property monthly to pay back the line and the interest, as long as the numbers work. The line can be unsecured (no collateral) or secured (against your home). I tend to have both types of lines of credit and the secured amount is usually higher. When a line of credit is revolving, it also allows you to pay it back at your leisure so you can pay the interest monthly and then pay back the rest once you are prepared to. [2021] - Shazia Virani
Here are four discount brokerages for non‐American expatriates: DBS Vickers Securities, based in Singapore; TD Direct Investing International (now Internaxx), based in Luxembourg; Swissquote, based in Switzerland; and Saxo Capital Markets, located in more than 20 worldwide locations, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Uruguay, and the United Arab Emirates. Interactive Brokers, an American firm, allows Americans and non‐Americans to open accounts from almost every country in the world. If you're a non‐American expat, avoid TD Ameritrade Singapore. Investors pay 30 percent dividend withholding taxes because the brokerage trades solely on the US market. [2018] - Andrew Hallam
Once nearby support or resistance levels have been broken and you are still in the trade, look at the next higher major time frame to get a more significant support or resistance level. The farther out you go, the better the stop will be but the more it will cost you if it is hit. [2003] - Marcel Link
Fundamentally I structure my training around exercises that improve the following: 1. Grip strength, how hard you can grip with your hands, which involves everything from your hands to your lats. 2. Attention to both concentric and eccentric loading for all movements, meaning when our muscles are shortening (concentric) and when they're lengthening (eccentric). In other words, we need to be able to lift the weight up and put it back down, slowly and with control. Rucking down hills is a great way to work on eccentric strength, because it forces you to put on the "brakes." 3. Pulling motions, at all angles from overhead to in front of you, which also requires grip strength (e.g., pull-ups and rows). 4. Hip-hinging movements, such as the deadlift and squat, but also step-ups, hip thrusters, and countless single-leg variants of exercises that strengthen the legs, glutes, and lower back.

Write a thank-you note after the interview--not only to them, but to the receptionist, secretary, and whoever else you interacted with, there--by name. [2013] - Richard N. Bolles
