Moving average crossovers are notorious for false trend reversal signals. [2009] - Robert C. Miner

Your photo: Eye contact with the camera signals trust and openness; a genuine smile signals approachability, confidence, and happiness, and open body language signals you're open as a person. A lifestyle portrait generally looks more intimate when the subject is leaning (slightly) forward or sideways with one elbow on something, and when his or her shoulders are not as symmetrical as they would be in a passport photo. Look at a few fashion magazine covers and you'll see what I mean. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

When wave three ends, connect the points labeled "1" and "3," then draw a parallel line touching the point labeled "2." This construction provides an estimated boundary for wave four. If the fourth wave ends at a point not touching the parallel, you must reconstruct the channel in order to estimate the boundary for wave five. First connect the ends of waves two and four. If waves one and three are normal, the upper parallel most accurately forecasts the end of wave five when drawn touching the peak of wave three. If wave three is abnormally strong, almost vertical, then a parallel to the baseline that touches the top of wave one is then more useful. [2001] - Robert Prechter

Frailty is defined as having at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: weakness (as measured by grip strength), unintentional weight loss (of 10 pounds or 5% of body weight in the past year), exhaustion (self-reported), slow walking speed (based on the time to walk 15 feet), and low physically activity. Individuals meeting 1 or 2 of the criteria are classified as "pre-frail." About 1 in 40 are frail by age 65, 1 in 4 after age 75, and 1 in 3 of those older than 85. [2023] - Michael Greger
