False breakouts are more common than successful breakouts. Successful breakouts must be accompanied with a strong surge of momentum in the direction of the price breakout. [2007] - Grace Cheng

One of the hardest things to do in trading is to allow a profit to run, particularly after a trader has had several losers in a row. Being a position trader often means going through periods in which you have more losers than winners. When you do get a winner and learn to let the trades run, you will find that on average your winners are much larger than your losers. [2010] - Jay Norris

Bond yields more likely stay extremely low for a long time to come, and possibly go even lower I believe that low interest rates are mainly the result of an aging population, not the Great Recession and not COVID-19. Having more people who are over age 50 changes the balance of supply and demand for money, since older people tend to be savers rather than borrowers.

Interest rates there 20 years ago were about the same as ours are today, and their rates have hovered near zero ever sine. [2020] - Frederick Vettese

We don't fall in love with other people; we fall in love with the feelings we get when we are with them. When you fall for someone new, there are the head-spinning feelings of excitement and desire, but there's also tension.

Reflux-inducing substances may include condiments and natural products that are pH friendly (pH 5 and higher) but should be avoided by people with acid reflux. Among these are coffee, onions, tomatoes, citrus fruit, vinegar, garlic, mint, and chocolate. But if you have acid reflux, you must also beware of the following items: seed oils, peppers, berries, honey, and organic agave. Berries are allowed if they are balanced by acid neutralizers such as almond milk, non-GMO soy milk, rice milk, and coconut milk. One way to consume berries safely is through a smoothie, which, in combination with nondairy milk, can be an alkalizing, palate-pleasing combo. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
