Don’t rely on automated systems or signal services. [2010] - Ed Ponsi

My recommendation in bathrooms is that you use a high luster paint that contains an antifungal agent. However, the best antifungal paint is typically oil-based, which means it smells bad and is tough to clean up. For kitchens, a high gloss paint is usually recommended because it can be cleaned. Again, an oil-based paint (as opposed to latex) usually works best here. [2003] - Robert Irwin

A great property manager is key to success in real estate. A great property manager often hears of great deals before real estate agents do, which makes them even more valuable. [1998] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Many of our threats are imaginary. The habits and even obsessions that we develop to keep them away are destructive and undermine our moods constantly. [2009] - Liz Miller

Many investment firms and insurance companies offer something known as target data funds, or TDFs for short. These funds start with a heavy weighting in equities and then slowly increase the weighting in bonds over a period of many years. For instance, a TDF based on retirement in 2055 might have an 85-15 asset mix today. As you get closer to 2055, that mix will slowly change to something like 50-50. The main disadvantage is that TDFs tend to be more expensive than if you try to manage the asset mix yourself using low-cost ETFs. The other disadvantage is that you might think the asset mix in a particular TDF is too conservative. [2021] - Frederick Vettese
