Quotes of the Day

It is not sufficient just to take walks; adding on more exerting exercises, where the heart rate is elevated, and sustaining that elevation for at least 5 minutes has additional benefits. I advise you to exercise vigorously, with jogging, jumping in place, and other heart-rate-elevating exercises or activities. Keep your leg muscles and the central muscles in the abdomen and back strong. To achieve maximum benefit, exercise at least three days per week. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

This should be an immediate sell as there is no hope for you to build a dividend growth portfolio with stocks cutting their dividends.

High competition, decreasing sales and revenues growth mixed with an increasing dividend payout ratio should be enough for you to pull the trigger. [2012] - Mike Heroux

If you are spending more than 10 percent of your time interacting with your co-workers, it is too much. [2004] - Brian Tracy
