If it appears that the risk on a trade is too large, the trade is not a high probability one and should be avoided. Don’t worry about missing trades. [2003] - Marcel Link

Thanks to the tax treaty between Canada and the U.S., Uncle Sam will refrain from taxing U.S. dividend income received inside an RRSP (or RRIF, for that matter). But that doesn’t extend to TFSAs. You’ll be dinged with a 15 percent tax deducted at source for dividends paid on U.S. stocks held in a TFSA. You don’t have to worry about interest income or capital gains from U.S. stocks, though. The tax treaty guarantees those are only taxable in Canada, which means they’re tax-free in a TFSA. [2021] - Erica Alini

As you age, your risk of developing and dying from cancer grows every year--until you hit eighty-five or ninety, when, interestingly, your cancer risk begins to drop. In deed, if you don't get cancer by a certain age, you may never get it. What accounts for this relative resistance to cancer among centenarians? It may have to do with a cancer-promoting growth hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The release of IGF-1 appears to be triggered by the consumption of animal protein. Vegetarians who include eggs and dairy in their diets don't seem to achieve a significant reduction in IGF-1. Only men and women who limit their intake of all animal proteins appear able to significantly drop their levels of the cancer-promoting hormone and raise their levels of the protective binding proteins. [2015] - Michael Greger

Other documents can get recorded on the chain of title in addition to the deed and that give people certain rights to the property. The most common examples would be easements, covenants, or liens. Easements (a legal right given by the property owner to another party to allow them to use or cross the property) and covenants (a legal document that explains how a property can be used) are fairly common and not a big deal, but a lien can make or break a sale. Your goal when buying real estate is to only buy properties that have a "clear title". This means a title that has been researched and found to be complete and free of liens or other issues. [2015] - Brandon Turner
