Quotes of the Day

Once the property fits the Cash Flow Zone, the next step is to determine the motivation of the vendor. Unmotivated vendors will waste a ton of your time. The best way to determine the vendor's motivation is to provide your realtor with a list of questions. 1. Why are you selling? 2. How long have you owned the property? 3. When do you have to move? The answers you get will reveal the vendor's motivation level and, as an added bonus, you'll discover whether the most critical motivating factor is time or money. You should also note that a vendor's motivation level often increases when the property has been listed for sale for some time. [2009] - Don R. Campbell

A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents). [2020] - David Raubenheimer

Hiring the contract with the lowest quote can set you up for disaster. If you're doing major home renovations, get in writing quotes from at least three contractors. If a quote is a lot lower than the others, it may be a warning sigh that the contractor is cutting corners to save you money. Often it's best to choose a quote that's somewhere in the middle. [2017] - Sean Cooper

If a frenzy occurs in gold, a good strategy is to sell half your position once you have doubled your money. When the ascent goes vertical and you hear about gold every night on the news, think about liquidating some of your position. Once prices move in a strong 90-degree angle, you should use a very short-term moving average to help you make your initial liquidation; here we will use a five-day MA. We want to sell when prices move below the five-day MA. Some traders will also use a 50-day or 200-day moving average to help them out of the rest of their positions. [2009] - James DiGeorgia

Rapamycin has been demonstrated to do something that no other drug has ever done before: extend maximum lifespan in a mammal. Even though rapamycin is already approved for use in humans for multiple indications, there are formidable obstacles to launching a clinical trail to look at its possible impact on human aging-mainly, its potential side effects in healthy people, most notably the risk of immunosuppression. [2023] - Peter Attia
