The perfect balance between risk and reward is 1:1.5 or more – i.e. for every dollar you risk you should be able to make at least $1.50. In other words, if you apply a stop loss of $100, your profit target should be at least $150. [2008] - Markus Heitkoetter

Multiple studies in midlife and older adults indicate that sleep disturbance is the risk for late-onset dementia. Note the 7-hour cutoff for association with the lowest hazard ratio. After 7 hours, more sleep is associated with more risk. Other cardiovascular factors are tied to risk of Alzheimer's and all-cause dementia, including a very high HDL, high LDL, and elevation of systolic blood pressure. A retina image is independently helpful for prediction of high risk. Speech, analyzed with AI methods, can predict Alzheimer's disease within 6 years. People deemed at high risk must undergo further assessment and close surveillance. This includes a conventional brain MRI, or a resting-state functional MRI that can further differentiate risk and predict the disease up to 9 years in advance. [2025] - Eric Topol

If two properties are comparable in size and location, yet one property (on a dollar per sq. ft. basis) is much more expensive or much cheaper, it's your job to figure out why. The cheaper property may be in a slightly worse location. Or it could be on a noisier street, or near a garbage dump, or in a position where it gets less sun, etc. These are some of the things you'll need to determine to figure out value and possible rent rates. [2013] - Julie Broad
