To maximize the immune-function benefits of cruciferous vegetables (arugula, bok choy, broccoli, broccoli rabe, broccolini, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, radishes, red cabbage, turnip greens and watercress), do the following: 1) Chew all cruciferous greens very, very well, trying to crush every cell. 2) Puree, blend, or chop cruciferous vegetables before adding them to stews or soups. 3) When steaming green cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, try to undercook slightly so they are not too mushy. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Look for a person who is ambitious, hardworking, determined, and reliable. Find the qualities you admire in a person when they are budding rather than they are in full bloom. Find a person whose dreams are likely to take them to the very place you also want to go. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

Chasing a breakout is not a great idea. For every successful breakout, there’s a false breakout. Staying solvent means protecting yourself from false breakouts. The best way to do that is to buy at the breakout point and set a stop-loss to make sure if the price falls much below the breakout point, you get out with no more than a small loss. A good rule of thumb many professional traders use is to only buy within 5% of the breakout point. If the price has risen further than that by the time I’m at my trading screen, then I usually disregard the breakout and wait for the next opportunity. [2019] - Glen Goodman

For a given shift in interest rates or financial strength, changes in the market value of long-term bonds will be much greater than price changes of short-term bonds. For example, a 1% increase in interest rates would cause the market price of a 3-year $10,000 bond to decline by around 3% or $300; whereas a $10,000 30-year bond would likely drop in price by around 20% or $2,000. (Note that bond market price changes don't much matter if you hold a bond to maturity.) [2018] - Larry Bates
