Quotes of the Day

Beans, peas, corn, wild rice, barley, steel-cut oats, oatmeal, tomatoes, squashes, berries, and fresh fruits are examples of the most favorable carbohydrates sources. Beans, green peas, berries and tomatoes are at the top of the list. Squashes, intact whole grains (such as steel-cut oats), wild rice, quinoa, wheat berries, and even sweet potatoes would be more favorable choices than white potatoes, which would be at the bottom of this list. Regardless of the relative merits of these natural carbohydrates, things get considerably worse when they become processed. A perfect example is cereal that consists of finely ground flour combined with fruit juice to sweeten it. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Position, or end-of-day, trading is fairly straightforward in that the trader is taking trade signals on the basis of price behavior on the daily charts. Enter orders is just before the end of the trading day at 5 p.m. EST. It is common parlance to refer to 5 p.m. EST as the close because it marks the change from one day to the next on the daily chart. You determine whether the trade is a trend or a countertrend on the basis of the stance of your daily chart and look to the weekly and monthly charts for confirmation. [2010] - Jay Norris

Those who avoided red meat but ate white meat regularly had a more than 300 percent increase over those who ate no white meat in colon cancer incidence. Eating beans, peas, or lentils at least twice a week was associated with a 50 percent lower risk than never eating these foods. Chicken has about the same amount of cholesterol as beef, and the production of those potent cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) is even more concentrated in grilled chicken than in beef. Beans in general, not just soy, have additional anti-cancer benefits against reproductive cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

There are many financial advisory credentials. The Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Planner designations (both known by the initials CFP) are the most rigorous. Not every CFP will exclusively build portfolios of index funds. In fact, most will sell higher-commission products. But a CFP is at least qualified to practice their craft. Most other three-letter designations at the bottom of an advisor’s business cards are comparatively unimpressive. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

Net Operating Income (NOI) = Income - Vacancy Factor (until you have experience, a professional property manager will be able to give you a good estimate of the time required to re-rent the property) - Management Fee - Maintenance Reserve (depending on the age and condition of the property, you may want to vary this reserve from 5 to 30 percent or more) - Utilities - Taxes - Insurance - Other Expenses (such as common area maintenance, grounds maintenance, area lighting, and snow removal) [2004] - Mike Summey
