Quotes of the Day

Stops are always placed at the exact price that will void the setup. That’s the key to stops. [2009] - Robert C. Miner

During the detox phase, we prohibit onions, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers (both the vegetables and the seasonings) because all of those are common triggers. In truth, each individual item is a trigger for less than half of people. During transition, our patients add them back in, but one at a time. Of the four items, onions are the most common trigger food. Interestingly, cooked onions are generally better than raw onions. If garlic is a reflux trigger food, it is usually the "meat" of the garlic. Garlic powder and garlic salt are less likely to trigger reflux than the garlic clove itself. Fresh tomato is probably a trigger food for fewer than one-third of people. Cracked black pepper is a fairly common reflux trigger food. Green peppers appear to be more of a problem than red or yellow ones. [2015] - Jamie Koufman

Premarital cohabitation can be a very positive and revealing experience since it provides a couple the opportunity to test the marital environment to see if it "feels right." There will be opportunities for observation of temperaments and their abilities to nurture and occasions to gain information about their family histories and relationships. Cohabitation should only take place between couples with a definite or at least tentative decision to marry. They should both retain their own living quarters and try out the living together option for a month or two (or more). [2011] - Isabelle Fox

Low levels of vitamin D host health problems, including bone disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, and possibly other conditions. You can have your vitamin D level checked to see if this dose is adequate. The test is called 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and the desirable blood level is 30 ng/ml or higher. Very few people get enough vitamin D, so some basic supplementation is warranted. Many experts recommend 800 to 1,000 IUs of vitamin D per day for everyone who isn't regularly exposed to the sun. [2013] - Hillary Wright

only Americans can buy one of Vanguard’s target retirement funds from Vanguard USA. But British investors can buy similar products from Vanguard UK. Canadian and Australian investors can’t buy all-in-one portfolios of indexed mutual funds. However, Canadians and Australians can buy all-in-one ETFs from one of their home country brokerages. I believe investors behave much better in all-in-one portfolios of index mutual funds compared to investors in all-in-one ETFs. After all, with all-in-one index mutual funds, investors can set up automatic monthly deposits. This makes the process hands-free. [2022] - Andrew Hallam
