Quotes of the Day

The older you get, the less heart-essential coenzyme Q10 you have. Not so good, since 95% of the energy produced by the body depends on this electron transport chemical, making it important to eat more energy-producing greens, grains, and beans. [2009] - Frances Sheridan Goulart

By looking at the higher time frames one can see what the direction of the major trend is and where the support and resistance levels are. The 60-minute time frame is extremely important because I think it defines the intermediate (2 to 5 days) move. By trading in its direction, I believe you will get the most momentum out of a trade, as long as there is no support or resistance level or it is not in overbought or oversold territory. It is much easier to wait for an opportune moment to enter a trade and control risk by using the 1-, 5-, and 10-minute charts. [2003] - Marcel Link

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

If your account has a bond index, a domestic stock index, and an international stock index, you'll have a good chance of success. A rule of thumb is that you should have a bond allocation that's roughly equivalent to your age. Some experts suggest that it should be your age minus 10, or if you want a riskier portfolio, your age minus 20. Common sense should be used here. A 50-year old government employee expecting a guaranteed pension when he retires can afford to invest less than 50 percent of his portfolio in bonds. [2017] - Andrew Hallam

Research by Dr. Janet Lever and Dr. Rosanna Hertz shows that even in 2013, most women preferred to be paid for on a date, but an increasing number of men wanted women to offer to pay the bill at least some of the time. [2014] - Pepper Schwartz
