BFG Outlier Research Process (BFG) is used both by institutional and retail level investors. The retail version can be found within www.superstockinvestor.com and is called The Madison Letter. BFG was created to solve one of the toughest tasks for anyone involved in markets: the identification of intermediate tops and bottoms with a high degree of success. A sell occurs where the BFG Score is above 20, Trend Measure falls under 40, and volume wanes into the close. Buys occur where the BFG Score is below -20, Trend Measure falls under 40, and volume improves into the close. [2009] - James DiGeorgia

To successfully initiate sleep, your core temperature needs to decrease by 2 to 3 degree Fahrenheit (about 1 degree Celsius). For this reason, you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that is too cold than too hot, since a room that is too cold is at least dragging your brain and body in the correct (downward) temperature direction for sleep. Warm hands and feet help your body's core cool, including inviting sleep quickly and efficiently. Sleep clinicians treating insomnia patients will often ask about room temperature, and will advise patients to drop their current thermostat set-point by 3 to 5 degrees from that which they currently use. [2017] - Matthew Walker

If you have hit your 50s, you should have a net worth about eight times your salary accumulated. If you don't, you'll have to up your savings rate to as much as 25% or 30%, delay your retirement, or reconcile yourself to a much simpler lifestyle when you do retire. You should aim to have 11 times your salary socked away by the time you hit age 60. [2013] - Gail Vaz-Oxlade

Don’t overlook tinned fish, which tend to be smaller mercury-free fish loaded with omega-3s. The highest-quality traditional tinned fish are made in Spain, Portugal, and France, but these are exported and can be found in many markets around the world. They are usually found along with canned goods in the middle of the store. The most common tinned fish containing the highest levels of omega-3 are salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and anchovies. [2019] - William W Li

To prevent gum disease, watch for the first signs of infection (bleeding gums) and take action immediately. When you prevent or stop gum disease at the early stage, you avoid all the problems that aggressive periodontal bacteria can inflict on your gums, bones, and health. When your teeth have multiple exposures to xylitol each day, totaling at least 6.5 and 10 grams of xylitol, studies show that you can radically change the kind of bacteria in your mouth within one year. The next thing to do is visit a dentist as soon as possible to have an evaluation to learn about remedies that can help return your mouth to health. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
