Quotes of the Day

I risk no more than 3% of my account size in any one trade. New traders might want to risk no more than 1.5% to 2% of the account size in any one trade. Sometimes, even with good trading strategies, you might suffer three or four consecutive losses. [2008] - Yeo Keong Hee

One study found that Ambien (zolpidem) actually decreased slow-wave sleep (deep sleep) without increasing REM, meaning people who take it are basically trading high-quality sleep for low-quality sleep. Older benzodiazepine drugs, such as Valium (diazepam) and Xanax (alprazolam) typically induce unconsciousness without improving sleep quality. Somewhat worryingly, their use has also been associated with cognitive decline, and they're generally not recommended for older adults beyond very short-term time horizons (nor is Ambien). [2023] - Peter Attia

I encourage a couple to go together for two years before they decide to marry. [2002] - Neil Clark Warren

Mortgage interest rates help to evaluate and determine market cycles. If rates are at an all-time low, more people will be qualifying for mortgages and are therefore less likely to be in the rental market. When the money supply is tight and lenders are cautious and interest rates are high, that's when you're in the best position as a rental property owner. And when rates are low but lending standards are tight for the middle-income demographic, this demographic will typically be forced to rent. [2017] - Bryan M. Chavis

One night of sleep loss doesn't significantly or obviously impair our health system. Staying awake overnight, rather than sleeping, is accompanied by only subtle changes or even enhanced immunity in the short term. There is no clear evidence that a full night awake makes us any more susceptible to infection or disease. When we lose sleep one night, we can recover most of what we've lost the next time we sleep. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson
