Quotes of the Day

It is best to focus on your own rationale for doing a particular trade, instead of someone else's views on a public forum.

If you are given an eviction notice for "landlord use" you are entitled to one month's rent as compensation from your landlord. The landlord must either pay you this money or give you the last month's rent free. You can move out with a minimum of 10 days notice if you find another place before the two months are up. When you give a short notice, you only have to pay for the days that you actually live there. If you have a lease (also called a fixed term tenancy agreement), you cannot be evicted for landlord use before the lease runs out. [2015] - Kris Anderson

High short-term risk rewarded with top long-term results. Perfect for those who can handle the ride, are adding new money to their investments and who take the long view. [2016] - J L Collins

If a woman likes you, she will primp by putting on lipstick, powdering her nose, or combing her hair to make you aware of her appearance. [2006] - Leil Lowndes
