Quotes of the Day

Incidental touching is done with the hand and is brief, gentle, natural, and nonthreatening. You may touch the person's arm or shoulder but never anywhere that's overtly sexual (the breast, the butt, the inner thigh). Your first incidental touch should come around the time you are comfortable with medium-risk self-disclosure--preferably after you have laughed together and learned in to each other. If your well-timed and brief touch on the arm prompts a warm response, you can follow it with an appropriately-timed, incidental touch to the hand. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

RRIFs are usually a good choice if you enjoy managing your money, have an indexed company pension plan that guarantees you a basic level of income, and don't immediately need to start drawing on your funds. Another advantage of RRIFs is that you can convert them to an annuity at any time. Annuities are usually best when you have small retirement savings that absolutely need to last a number of years (especially if you're young and your family has a history of living a long time) and must have the peace of mind that comes with knowing just how much you have to live on. [2019] - Eric Tyson

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

Dinner, or even just a coffee, is not a good first date because the two of you will be sitting across from each other, and it will probably feel more like a job interview than a date. A better first date is one that involves walking, at a crafts show, an outdoor music festival, a park (especially during a special event), or even window shopping in a trendy part of town. After you've done this for an hour or so the initial jitters will have passed, then suggest the two of you go to a coffee shop to recharge. [2012] - Christopher Gray

As a physical asset, gold tended to have large bid/ask spreads than other investments, so the metal wasn't as easy to trade on a short-term basis. Thus, gold investors have tended to be buy-and-hold investors rather than traders. [2009] - James DiGeorgia
