Quotes of the Day

How fast is the turnover of houses in the multiple listing service? Anything over five or six months is considered high and indicates a slow market. Anything under 60 days indicates a hot market. [2006] - Robert Irwin

Don't obsess over your sleep, especially if you're having problems. If you need an alarm clock, make sure it's turned away from you so you can't see the numbers. And if you find yourself worrying about poor sleep scores, give yourself a break from your sleep tracker. If you find yourself lying awake in bed, unable to get back to sleep, my advice is to stop fighting it. Get up, go into another room and do something relaxing. Fix a cup of tea (noncaffeinated, obviously), and read a (preferably boring) book until you feel sleepy again. If the sleeplessness persists, the most effective treatment is a form of psychotherapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I. Studies of CBT-I techniques have found that they're more effective than sleeping medications. [2023] - Peter Attia

Morel, shitake, and Agaricus mushrooms, like white, cremini, and portobello, should be cooked before eaten. Oyster mushrooms can be safely consumed raw. [2023] - Michael Greger

The way I like to trade a scheduled report is by looking at how the market reacts just a few minutes before the release of scheduled news. Whichever direction it’s moving in is what the consensus is thinking. Many times the initial response after the announcement is a spike upward which quickly retraces, sometimes to keep going lower and sometimes to come back and rally. The best thing to do in these situations is to sit back, wait until the market picks a clear direction and the noise settles. Once the market has picked its direction, there is still a lot of room to make money. [2003] - Marcel Link

Hire slow and fire fast. When it is time to let them go, maybe you can help them find jobs at a company where they might be happier and more productive. Or just pay them to leave. It will be less expensive in the long run. Remember to do it humanely and legally. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
