Quotes of the Day

prenuptial financial agreements may be considered, particularly if the couple is older, had been married for many years previously and acquired considerable assets before the death occurred.

Four elements to a great online presence: First, and most overlooked, a compelling username. Next comes your headline, or hook (generally a statement, not a questions, and is designed to arouse curiosity). Then your photo, and finally your stories. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

If you have a portfolio of $10,000 or less, you should either be thinking mutual funds (not ETFs) or be seeking to invest at a brokerage that won't charge you for trading ETFs. Otherwise, the trading costs could eat you alive. If, however, you're unlikely to do any trading in the next several years, an ETF portfolio may make sense. In that case, consider a simple and all-encompassing "everything" (total ball of wax) ETF for your domestic stock holdings. [2013] - Russell Wild

"Decor" light switches have top and bottom pressure plates. Simply press the top to turn on the lights, the bottom to turn them off. There are even dimmers that operate on touch--just press and hold the surface and the light will dim or brighten. Tap the surface to make the light go off and on. Decor switches are widely available in white, almond, ivory, and sometimes brown. You can buy the new decor switches for around four dollars each or less (Dimmer switches are far more expensive, costing around $25 apiece). You should also investigate to see if your local building department requires a permit. [2003] - Robert Irwin
