Quotes of the Day

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

If it is bad news and the market shakes it off and rallies, this is a bullish reaction to the news, so buy it. It probably means that the market has already discounted the news. If good news comes out and your stock or commodity fails to rally, the high probability trade is to short it. It’s more important to see how the market reacts to the news than to know what the news is. [2003] - Marcel Link

Citrus fruits and juices are very acidic. Alcohol also causes the esophageal valves to relax and cause reflux at night. Beer and white wine are particularly bad for reflux. The best things for a refluxer to drink? Water! Certain mild herbal teas are fine (such as chamomile), along with non-acidic smoothies, or low-fat and lactose-free milk. [2010] - Jamie Koufman

Some e-marketers avoid "FREE" in the subject line. Despite spam filters, "FREE" typically lifts response. [2005] - Robert W. Bly

Never select a financial planner who is paid by commission for anything to do with stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Great financial planners only charge their clients a fee for money management. If their clients earn a strong return after paying their fees and they keep coming back, it means they're happy. In today's age, there is nothing in the client's best interest that comes out of commissions. Every stock, bond, or mutual fund product available only by commission has an alternative that a fee-based financial planner would have access to. It's only difficult to avoid commission-based sales on insurance and private real estate purchases. [2017] - Calum Ross
