Quotes of the Day

The end of the slump proves to be the best and generally the most profitable time in the cycle to execute the buy-and-hold tactic. Values are at their lowest and confidence in the market is at an all-time low. The end of the slump phase is considered a buyer's market and there is a lot of inventory to choose from. Vendors are highly motivated and investors who want to capitalize on the end of the slump bargains will continue to look for quality properties that are undervalued or underutilized. The beginning of the recovery phase will still be offering great buy-and-hold deals. There are still many motivated vendors, and strategic investors will likely enjoy a steady appreciation for the remainder of the recovery. [2011] - Don R. Campbell

Anyone whose sleep is inefficient--meaning the time he sleeps divided by the time he is in bed is a low number, say less than 75-80%--has insomnia). 2. The person cares, and usually cares a lot, about not sleeping, whether or not she wants to admit it. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
