Non-traditional lenders with a solid track record are worth considering, especially if it means paying down your mortgage sooner. [2017] - Sean Cooper

Waist-to-Height Ratio, or WHtR, is a better tool than BMI that we can use to gauge the health risks of body fat. Stand up straight and take a deep breath, exhale, and let it all hang out. The circumference of your belly (halfway between the top of your hip bones and the bottom of your rib cage) should be half your height--ideally, less. If that measurement is more than half your height, it's time to start eating healthier and exercising more regardless of your weight. [2015] - Michael Greger

Investing in a longer-term bond or GIC may produce a better ultimate result if interest rates remain at current low levels; whereas, if rates rise, a series of shorter-term bonds or GICs may ultimately prove more rewarding. GICs are typically issued with maturities of one to five years while bonds usually come with original terms of three to thirty years. [2018] - Larry Bates

Men tend to look first at the photo while women read the words. Women chose a good sense of humor and similar taste in music, movies, books, etc., with strong family values and great smile sharing third place. Tacky clothes and a bad haircut matter more to women than men. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

The Elliott sequence consists of a basic rhythm of "fives" corrected by "threes." This sequence remains constant no matter what degree of wave is being analyzed. This wave rhythm is observable as long as there is a minimum amount of trading volume. As a rule of thumb, we use a minimum average of 20 ticks per time period, although the Elliott sequence can often be seen in a shorter period market with much less volume--for example, the one-minute chart. [1995] - Bill Williams
