An example of low probability trading is trying to pick the tops and bottoms in strongly trending markets. Other situations to avoid include buying after a market has made a substantial move and is in overbought territory and buying when the market is at the top of a channel or a resistance level. Buying after it has broken below an upward-sloping trendline is also a poor trade, as this may indicate that the trend has ended. [2003] - Marcel Link

When negotiating in person with a motivated seller, one tactic that works almost every time is simple: ask the seller what their lowest price is. They'll usually tell you a number, but this is never their real lowest price--this is their starting price! Then, ask them a follow up question like "Okay, but what if I could pay all cash and close next week?" They will almost always go a little lower. If you wanted to push it one more time, you could say something like "So, if I were to offer you $X and get you the cash you need in the next ten days, that would be unreasonable?" No one likes to appear unreasonable, and there is a good chance they'll respond with "Yeah, I could do that." [2015] - Brandon Turner

The best way to begin to meet new people is through the people you already know--your friends, family, and colleagues. Ask an acquaintance out for coffee or entertain friends at home. Join a community club or a volunteer organization. Invite friends to a sporting event, park, museum, book club, concert, or festival and suggest they bring friends too. Two simple rules for meeting people: Entertain once a week without fail, and accept all invitations. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman
