Quotes of the Day

Most whitening products contain peroxide as the main ingredient. The problem with peroxide is created by something called a hydroxyl-free radical, a by-product of bleaching that causes damage to the gum--damage that may be permanent. In addition, many whitening toothpastes contain abrasive polishing agents to remove some of the surface layer of your tooth, the part most often stained. But remember, this layer offers your tooth the most protection from infection and a barrier to make teeth less sensitive. I consider that a very well-known brand of whitening mouth rinse should be considered a co-carcinogen and that using the product may increase your risk for oral cancer. Stay clear of products that claim to whiten teeth. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

My most successful sales letters have been eight, ten, twelve, even sixteen, pages long. If your sales letters are interesting, people will gladly read them. Your sales letter should be warm, human, sincere, honest, personal, and one-on-one. [2000] - Jay Abramham

When a stock, commodity, or index hits or nears a nice round number such as 10,000 on the Dow, 2000 on NASDAQ, $20 in crude, or a significant technical level such as a previous high and can’t break through it, look for a reversal. [2003] - Marcel Link

Some investors own international bond ETFs that are priced in US dollars. If the US dollar rises against other currencies, the price of such a bond ETF will show an exaggerated loss. For an American investor, that loss could be real. After all, if they plan to retire in the United States, they'll pay future bills in US dollars. As such, if they buy an international bond market index, they would be taking a currency risk. But for a non‐American investor, that loss isn't real. Always remember that the listed currency of an ETF is irrelevant. [2018] - Andrew Hallam
