Quotes of the Day

Some people react to anxiety not by withdrawing, but by seeking attachment to a someone who isn't a good fit for them or doesn't reciprocate their feelings. It's natural to want to be liked and accepted, particularly for people who struggle with self-doubt and low self-esteem. But sometimes getting caught up in wanting to be liked detracts from the equally important issue of deciding whether the other person is someone you want to be with. [2014] - Shannon Kolakowski

ETF investors should always use limit orders-no exception. A good practice is to place a limit order a penny above the ask price. For example, if the ask is $16.94, place your limit order at $16.95. Some investors think entering a value higher than the current ask price is telling the market they're willing to overpay. But that's not true: a stock exchange matches orders from buyers and sellers and fills them at best mutually agreed upon price. If you enter a limit order to buy at $16.95 and there are units available for $16.94, our order will get filled a the lower price. When you're selling ETF shares, enter the limit order at the bid price or a penny below. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

The single most important skill for success is the ability to sell. Every other skill can be hired away from someone else.

Good habits are hard to form but easy to live with. [2004] - Brian Tracy

If you choose to manage your own properties, it also means maintaining a book of contacts, such as a plumber, an electrician, a painter, and a flooring installer. If you hire a property manager, he or she will maintain that entire Rolodex of contacts on your behalf, plus handle a thousand small problems you truly don't want to touch. Much property management work is low-wage work, so you will effectively be losing money by spending your time here. [2017] - Calum Ross
